  1. 1. Black liquor to advanced biofuel : A techno-economic assessment

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Energivetenskap

    Author : Rikard Alfjorden; [2019]
    Keywords : Biofuel; technoeconomic; biorefinery;

    Abstract : This thesis looked at a biorefinery pilot plant that converted lignin in black liquor into biofuel. A heat/mass balance was made which was used to create a heat/mass balance for a theoretical large-scale plant. This then created the CAPEX for building the plant. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fields of Dreams: Scenarios to Produce Selected Biomass and Renewable Jet Fuels that Fulfill European Union Sustainability Criteria

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Torry van Slyke; [2019]
    Keywords : aviation biofuel; Camelina sativa; forestry residues; land use change; Renewable Energy Directive; sustainable development;

    Abstract : Aviation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have risen faster than any other transport sector to double between 1990 and 2005. Such emissions from aviation could increase another 700 percent globally, and at least 150 percent in the European Union (EU), by 2050 due to continuously increasing consumer demand. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multicriteria Site Suitability for Algal Biofuel Production Facilities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Brendan O'Neill; [2018]
    Keywords : geography; GIS; advanced biofuels; algae; Florida; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The use of algae as a feedstock for the production of advanced biofuels has tremendous potential because of its short growth cycle, high productivity, lack of competition for agricultural lands, ability to use a variety of water sources and recycle CO2 and nutrient emissions, and compatibility with existing fuels chains with minimum process changes. However, to make significant contributions to biofuel targets, optimal locations must be identified to ensure production facilities are economically viable. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Future of Advanced Bio-Jet Fuel

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Amanda Blochel; [2017]
    Keywords : advanced bio-jet fuel; aviation industry; HEFA-SPK; jet fuel; TF-SPK;

    Abstract : The aviation industry is growing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emissions from the industry are following in the same manner. Biofuels made from edible feedstock have had an impact on lowering the emissions but at the same time an impact on increasing food prices. READ MORE
