ALGAL BIO-DIESEL POWER PLANT INTRODUCTION: Algae- most promising alternative renewable energy source available. It decreases the need for fossil fuels and thus makes our environment healthier. Algae oil is produced as much faster as 30 times than other biomass feedstock while its producing amount is up to 300 times more resulting 600 tons of bio-diesel per day which will produce 200MW of electricity per hour. MAJOR COMPONENTS IN ALGAE BIO-DIESEL POWER PLANT: 1. Algae plantation

Disadvantages of alternate fuels The truth about the manufacturing and use of alternate fuels‚ as with everything else in life‚ is a mix of benefits and cost. Electricity is one of the alternate fuels that made it to production. The Chevy Volt is one such vehicle. The problem with this car is that it cost $41‚000 to buy one‚ and the battery life for a charge is only 37 miles. There would be no value for us to use electric cars. (Courture‚2011). Ethanol

alternative energy : bio fuel - "Ethanol in the Race of the Bio-Fuels " By: Thomas Dwyane Much talk has been going on about the use of the so-called alternative fuel sources in order to answer the demand of preserving the environment. One of the highest possible sources of this alternative fuel is ethanol‚ or that fuel which is derived from corn. Ethanol‚ also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol or more commonly referred to simply as alcohol‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ and slightly toxic chemical

Is This the End of Oil Production? One of the most pressing current economic issues is oil production and distribution. It’s an issue that has been continuing to shock people for decades now. As cars become a necessity in American society‚ fuel is used even more than it used to. It seems like everyone has a vehicle and all vehicles require oil based fuels. Almost everyone in the United States uses some sort of transportation to go places like work‚ home‚ to the store‚ even to visit family. Truck

Results and discussion Pyrolysis is one of the thermochemical technologies for converting biomass into energy and chemical products consisting of liquid bio-oil‚ solid biochar‚ and pyrolytic gas. It is derived from the complex conversion network of the three main components in biomass: cellulose‚ hemicellullose and lignin (Kan et al.‚ 2016). Degradation Characteristics of A. magnium wood The purpose of this research is to determine the main points of A. magnium thermal degradation‚ based on DTG

The Honorable Ruben Hinojosa Washington‚ DC Office 2262 Rayburn HOB Washington‚ DC 20515 Dear Representative Hinojosa: I am writing this letter to you as a World Hunger Activist who is against the ethanol production that will contribute to global hunger. We can all agree that the increase of oil prices started a rising demand for food-based fuels. Many say this action can have the "potential to wean developed nations off of their oil addictions." However‚ as Lester Brown writes‚ the increasing
