Study on the Expansion Plan of Bio-Diesel for Transportation in Asia-Pacific Region
This project will involve a study of biodiesel production using the conventional raw materials such as Jatropha, in recognition of Partner Country concerns over the need for a stable supply of rapeseed and soybean oils for conventional biodiesel. This project will seek to address the gap in infrastructure for biodiesel use and distribution existing among the Partner countries. Korea will lead on ...

Kinetics of transesterification crude soybean oil to biodiesel catalysed by magnesium methoxide
The apparent activation energy of transesterification of soybean oil with methanol was investigated by the use of magnesium methoxide as solid base catalyst. The effect of variations in reaction time and temperature (50-65°C) on the macro reaction rate were studied while the molar ratio of methanol to oil (9 : 1) and the mass ration of catalyst to oil (8 wt%) were held. The experimental data were ...

Likely impacts of biofuel expansion on Midwest land and water resources
US ethanol production should exceed 12 billion gallons by 2010, and EISA 2007 mandates 36 billion gallons by 2022, diverting one-third of corn to ethanol and 13% of soybean production to biodiesel. Increased demand will ricochet through other agricultural sectors and alter production patterns and land use in the Corn Belt. This paper discusses effects of biofuel expansion on land and water ...

Biofuel scenarios in a water perspective: The global blue and green water footprint of road transport in 2030
Concerns over energy security and climate change stimulate developments towards renewable energy. Transport is expected to switch from fossil fuel use to the use of fuel mixtures with a larger fraction of biofuels, e.g. bio-ethanol and biodiesel. Growing biomass for biofuels requires water, a scarce resource. Existing scenarios on freshwater use usually consider changes in food and livestock ...
