2. Algae fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae_fuel

   A conical flask of "green" jet fuel made from algae. Algae fuel, algal biofuel, or algal oil is an alternative to liquid fossil fuels that uses algae as its source of energy-rich oils. Also, algae fuels are an alternative to commonly known biofuel sources, such as corn and sugarcane. [ 1 ][ 2 ] When made from seaweed (macroalgae) it can be ...

3. Fuel polishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_polishing

   Fuel polishing. Fuel polishing is the technical cleaning process used to remove or filter microbial contamination from oil and hydrocarbon fuel in storage. It is essentially the removal of water, sediment and microbial contamination from such fuels as diesel, red diesel and biodiesel. This fuel contamination, also known as 'fuel bugs', or ...

4. Microbial contamination of diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_contamination_of...

   Diesel bug is contamination of diesel fuel by microbes such as bacteria and fungi. [1] Water can get into diesel fuel as a result of condensation, rainwater penetration or adsorption from the air — modern biodiesel is especially hygroscopic. The presence of water then encourages microbial growth which either occurs at the interface between ...

5. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   Diesel fuel has many colloquial names; most commonly, it is simply referred to as diesel.In the United Kingdom, diesel fuel for road use is commonly called diesel or sometimes white diesel if required to differentiate it from a reduced-tax agricultural-only product containing an identifying coloured dye known as red diesel.

6. Hydrotreated vegetable oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrotreated_vegetable_oil

   Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel made by the hydrocracking or hydrogenation of vegetable oil. Hydrocracking breaks big molecules into smaller ones using hydrogen while hydrogenation adds hydrogen to molecules. These methods can be used to create substitutes for gasoline, diesel, propane, kerosene and other chemical feedstock.

7. Bioremediation of oil spills - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioremediation_of_oil_spills

   Bioremediation of oil spills. Bioremediation of petroleum contaminated environments is a process in which the biological pathways within microorganisms or plants are used to degrade or sequester toxic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other volatile organic compounds found within fossil fuels. Oil spills happen frequently at varying degrees along ...

8. Biodiesel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel

   A self-published article by Michael Briggs, at the UNH Biodiesel Group, offers estimates for the realistic replacement of all vehicular fuel with biodiesel by utilizing algae that have a natural oil content greater than 50%, which Briggs suggests can be grown on algae ponds at wastewater treatment plants. [168]

9. Algae fuel in the United States - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae_fuel_in_the_United...

   This financial incentive for algae biofuel research has facilitated the creation of many algae strains that can be converted to fuel. Current economic assessments cite large-scale pond-cultivated algae fuel prices ranging from at $0.42 to $7.50 per Liter. [4] However, a 2012 economic analysis of commercialization potential and cost optimization ...
