  1. 1. Photosynthetic production of raw materials for jet fuel using cyanobacteria : In vivo study of recombinant oleate hydratase for isobutene production

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Siri Norlander; [2018]
    Keywords : cyanobacteria; oleate hydratase; biofuel; protein expression; isobutene; isobutanol; synechocystis;

    Abstract : Aviation accounts for a significant part of the world’s CO2 emission from the transport sector, but sustainable jet fuels are not as developed or as commonly used as renewable fuels for road vehicles. Biofuels produced through photosynthesis in cyanobacteria are of interest to help solve the pressing issue of CO2 emissions and increased global warming. READ MORE

  2. 2. Isobutanol - An alternative biofuel for hand-held petrol products

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Jens Janssen; [2018]
    Keywords : Isobutanol; biofuel; emission; two-stroke;

    Abstract : Pollution and environmental concerns require further improvements in engine technologyas well as research of alternative fuels. Users of handheld products are directlyexposed to the exhaust gas and thus to the occurring emissions, which cancause significant damage. Pursuing to reduce emissions is therefore a vital task.

  4. 4. Evaluation of isobutanol tolerance and gene expression in four different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for the development of bio-butanol production

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Rebecka Heinrup; [2016]
    Keywords : Biofuels; Isobutanol; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Tolerance; RPN4; RTG1; ILV2;

    Abstract : Today, most transportation fuels are derived from crude oil. However, fossil fuels are limited resources and contribute to climate change, and are therefore not considered as sustainable. Biofuels are highly relevant candidates for replacing fossil fuels and research has gone into butanol as a biofuel. READ MORE
