Due to the energy security and environmental pollution from engines working with
conventional fuels, various experimental research has been carried out to find alternative …

Many countries are immersed in several strategies to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions of internal combustion engines. One option is the substitution of these engines by …

The delay in the energy transition, focused in the replacement of fossil diesel with biodiesel,
is mainly caused by the need of reducing the costs associated to the transesterification …

The use of biodiesel and the requirement of improving its production in a more efficient and
sustainable way are becoming more and more important. In this research work, castor oil …

The aim of this work is to analyze the effect of using diethyl ether (DEE) as an oxygenated
additive of straight vegetable oils (SVOs) in triple blends with fossil diesel, to be used in …

In this work, the experimental conditions for the transesterification reaction of sunflower oil,
over commercial calcium oxide (CaO) as heterogeneous catalysts, have been optimized …

Today, biofuels are indispensable in the implementation of fossil fuels replacement
processes. This study evaluates ethyl acetate (EA) as a solvent of two straight vegetable oils …

The synthesis of two biocatalysts based on a commercial Candida antarctica lipase B, CALB
enzyme (E), physically immobilized on two silica supports, was carried out. The first support …

The present paper investigates the feasibility of using acetone (ACE) in triple blends with
fossil diesel (D) and straight vegetable oils (SVOs) as alternative fuel for diesel engines. In …

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an interesting blending component for diesel fuel (D) owing to
the high oxygen content (53 wt.%) and the absence of C–C bonds in its structure. Moreover …
