AGQM creates no-harm test for biodiesel home heating oil stabilizers

Plantations International Information As a result of boosting need for biodiesel-blended home heating oil, the German biodiesel quality management association AGQM revealed it will offer for the initial time a test to evaluate oxidation stabilizers for fatty acid methyl esters (POPULARITY) planned for mixing with home heating oil. AGQM states the advanced tests are implied to eliminate likely dangerous results of the fuel itself as well as undesirable interactions with various other gas parts. "In order to assure the high quality of energies and also POPULARITY, ingredients such as circulation improvers, steel deactivators, odor-covering representatives and stabilizers are made use of," [...]

Michigan State University partners with ExxonMobil to improve algal biofuels

Plantations International Information A new $ 1 million (appr. EUR890,000) connection in between Michigan State University (MSU) and also ExxonMobil will certainly increase research study developed to advance the essential scientific research required to progress algae-based fuels. The general objective of the partnership is to enhance the effectiveness of photosynthesis in microalgae to create biofuels and bioproducts. The trick to bioenergy is the effectiveness of photosynthesis, the procedure algae usage to record solar power and also the very first step in converting the power from the sun into a fluid gas. Previous research has actually shown that algae photosynthesis can be [...]

Los Alamos scientists establish brand-new nanotech for biofuel cell layout

Plantations International Information Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists and external collaborators have actually synthesised as well as qualified a brand-new DNA-templated gold nanocluster (AuNC) that might settle a crucial methodological obstacle for efficient biofuel cell design. Ligands, particles that bind to a main metal atom, are essential to develop secure nanoclusters. For this study, the scientists chose single-stranded DNA as the ligand, as DNA is an organic nanoscale product having top affinity for metal cations as well as can be utilized to assembly the collection to various other nanoscale material such as carbon nanotubes. Saumen Chakraborty, a scientist on the project, [...]

EU approves biodiesel JV between Wilmar and Fox Petrolifera

Plantations International News             Cookies are required to use this site. Please turn them on! This website requires javascript to be enabled. September 14, 2015 The European Commission has approved under the EU Merger Regulation a Dutch joint venture (JV) company between the Singaporean Wilmar International and Italian Fox Petrolifera Italiana. The new JV company will produce biodiesel at Fox Petrolifera’s existing biodiesel facility in Italy. Both of the parent companies produce biodiesel and crude and refined glycerine on their own, in addition to selling palm and seed oil for biodiesel production. The Commission concluded that [...]

AGQM to start first glycerol round robin test

Plantations International News For the first time ever, the German biodiesel quality management association AGQM will carry out a round robin test for pharmaceutical glycerol For the first time ever, the German biodiesel quality management association AGQM will carry out a round robin test for pharmaceutical glycerol. Round robin tests are used to check test methods and proper laboratory handling, and according to AGQM they have had a long and successful history. “That is why AGQM has also carried out round robin tests for biodiesel analytics as part of its quality management system since being founded in 1999,” the organization states. [...]

Biofat job demonstrates algae’s capacity for biofuels production

Plantations International Information The Biofat project, a microalgae-to-biofuel FP7 demo task, has confirmed algae's capacity as a sustainable biofuel source with reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The job has focused on improving as well as demonstrating sustainability in the process, taking into consideration both ecological (e.g. usage of aquatic pressures to restrict freshwater use) as well as economic (e.g. low time consumption) problems. 2 1.5 hectare pilot-scale establishments have been built for the project in Italy and also Portugal, as well as a scaled-up 10-hectare demonstration plant is in the lasts of building. The plants have demonstrated how the algae-to-biofuel procedure [...]
