The development of second-generation biofuels is important for increasing biofuel production while simultaneously maintaining N rates and improving NUE, and sugarcane systems in Brazil show potential for sustainable biofuel production with low N rates and limited N2O losses. Reducing N rates in sugarcane...
Second Generation Biofuels Second-generation biofuels use non-food biomass as feedstocks. These feedstocks include dedicated energy crops, agricultural residues, wood processing residues, municipal waste, and used cooking oil. Second-generation biofuel technology is less well-established, as many of the f...
Biomethane produced through anaerobic digestion of residues is classified as a second generation gaseous biofuel. A technique employed in Spain to deal with pig slurry is drying, using the heat from natural gas combined heat and power (CHP) systems. This paper examines production of biomethane from...
Ethanol is a well-known conventional biofuel. First-generation ethanol is made from corn, while second-generation ethanol is produced from residues such as bagasse, a byproduct of sugarcane processing. Ethanol is used primarily in gasoline blends. Other biofuels include fatty acid methyl ester (FAME...
are removed from the raw materials which are then hydrotreated at a high temperature. The outcome is a colorless and odorless fuel of an even quality that has an identical chemical composition with fossil diesel. It is also often called an "advanced biofuel" or "second-generation biofuel". ...
There's only so much land in the world, but the number of people each acre has to support is increasing rapidly. As oil becomes more expensive, so biofuels become more attractive to grow. That means farmers may find they can earn more by growing biofuel crops than food crops, which ...
process cellulosic biomass like switchgrass, hemp, and agricultural waste all for around 50 cents per gallon. This will allow cellulosic ethanol to cost roughly the same price as gasoline. These second generation biofuel's will also have a better net energy efficiency than gasoline or corn ethanol...
The WMG team is also using spatial variations in mechanical strain and temperature to track performance and improve the safety of larger cells. “This research is driving new physics informed models of the battery and new approaches to state-of-X (SoX) estimation fo...
First Engineer: Also known as the chief engineer's second-in-command, the first engineer assists the chief engineer in managing the engineering department. They have considerable responsibilities and may take charge in the chief engineer's absence. Second Engineer: The second engineer is a senior...
