Abstract In developing future fuels there is an opportunity to make use of advances in many fields of science and engineering to ensure that such fuels are sustainable in both production and utilization. One such advance is the use of...

Abstract The production of liquid fuels from biological material (‘biomass’) is gaining increasing interest worldwide. Climate change, rising fuel prices, political instability and depletion of petroleum resources are some of the recent concerns that have sparked this interest into alternatives...

Synthesizing biodiesel from non-edible feedstocks that do not disturb the food chain is becoming an attractive source of biofuels. Due to excess availability of date pits in GCC countries date pit oil extract can be used as an alternative fuel....

Cyanobacteria hold significant potential as platforms for the production of a wide variety of high-value products and biofuel molecules such as biohydrogen, isoprenoids and alkanes. Currently, the genome sequences of over 120 cyanobacterial species are publicly available, and techniques for...

Bio-glycerol is considered as high boiling polar triol and immiscible with fossil fuel fractions due to which it is transformed into its respective ketals and acetals which help to improve the quality of diesel emitting less amount of aldehydes and...
