The two main types of biofuel currently being produced in Australia are biodiesel and bioethanol, used as replacements for diesel and petrol respectively. [1] As of 2017 Australia is a relatively small producer of biofuels, accounting for 0.2% of world bioethanol production and 0.1% of world biodiesel production. [2]
Biofuels include bioethanol, an alcohol made by fermentation—often used as a gasoline additive, and biodiesel, which is usually used as a diesel additive. Specific energy is energy per unit mass, which is used to describe the chemical energy content of a fuel, expressed in SI units as joule per kilogram (J/kg) or equivalent units. [1]
Clean production bioethanol [20] is a biofuel obtained by maximizing non-greenhouse gas emitting (renewable) resources: energy directly consumed to make the ethanol is renewable energy . The farm equipment and ethanol plant use an ethanol engine , biodiesel , air engine or electricity cogenerated during ethanol production, or even wind power ...
The two most common types of biofuel are bioethanol and biodiesel. Brazil is the largest producer of bioethanol, while the EU is the largest producer of biodiesel. The energy content in the global production of bioethanol and biodiesel is 2.2 and 1.8 EJ per year, respectively. [17]
The cost of processing the feedstock into bioethanol; Such a calculation may or may not consider the following effects: The cost of the change in land use of the area where the fuel feedstock is grown. The cost of transportation of the bioethanol from the factory to its point of use; The efficiency of the bioethanol compared with standard gasoline
Legislation in Australia imposes a 10% cap on the concentration of fuel ethanol blends. Blends of 90% unleaded petrol and 10% fuel ethanol are commonly referred to as E10. E10 is available through service stations operating under the BP, Caltex, Shell and United brands as well as those of a number of smaller independents.
MEDLEY, Fla. — More than 3 million viewers tuned into the opening weekend of Unrivaled women’s basketball on cable television, TNT Sports announced Thursday as the new league enters its second ...
The Indian sugar ethanol program sets a target of 5% bioethanol incorporation into transport fuel. [26] China is a major bioethanol producer and aims to incorporate 15% bioethanol into transport fuels by 2010. Costs of biofuel promotion programs can be very high, though. [27]
