Transportation and power generation have historically relied upon Internal Combustion
Engines (ICEs). However, because of environmental impact and inefficiency, considerable …

Biodiesel fuels consist of a mixture of different fatty acid esters. The thermophysical
properties of the fatty acid esters are decisive for combustion and storage. Especially density …

Residues from wine industry constitute an interesting feedstock for biodiesel in wine-
producing countries like Spain. The use of grape seed oil together with bioethanol obtained …

The need to find sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels in aviation without requiring drastic
structural changes in turbines and tanks has prompted a search for new components to …

The oxidation of a Jatropha curcas-derived biodiesel was accelerated through the Rancimat
method. High-frequency reciprocating friction, wear testing and gas chromatography …

Due to increasing fuel consumption in various industries, especially in road transport,
interest in increasing the market participation of renewable fuels is growing. One such fuel is …

Orange oil was extracted by steam distillation from the peels of oranges produced as waste
in the orange juice factories. This raw orange oil, a potential source for biojet fuel, was …

Partial hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters, the so-called H-FAME, has
been developed, particularly for application in warm climates, to improve the oxidation …

The composition of biodiesel significantly influences its lubrication performance. Gas
chromatography, high frequency reciprocating friction, and wear test machines were used to …

Wine industry generates a large amount of biowaste, such as grape marc and wine lees,
which is considered in the Directive (EU) 2018/2001 as an adequate feedstock to produce …
