Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) is a plant native to Central America and is a source of oil and other by-products with commercial potential and economic value. Recent studies have shown that the oil from Jatropha seeds can be used for the production of biodiesel that meets the EN and ASTM biodiesel specification standards. Biofuel produced from Jatropha curcas can be used in a variety of ways to meet Sudan's...
To develop industry of putting jatropha curcas L. as biological diesel fuel In Guizhou province, which covered with mountains here and there, is in leading position in the world now, comparative speaking, as a biological diesel fuel the jatropha curcas L. is a renewable and environment-friendly fuel, it is a typical green fuel. Therefore, it could accelerate the speed of energy replacement which use...
This research mainly discussed some concrete details about how to make better use of the option contract in the case of biomass supply chain under “Company + Farmer” mode. Based on Stackelberg Game Theory this paper built a contract model, in which the company coordinated the farmer's production and the contract quantity. Moreover, the optimal option exercise price was determined, considering various...
The Purpose of this work was to explore upgrade of UASB(Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Bed)technology, that has been proved inefficient in dealing with high strength organic content wastewater (COD concentration: 20,000-150,000 mg·l-1) from distillery plants that use cane molasses and cassava as feedstocks in GuangXi Region, China, where sugar and cassava starch are two pillar industries. The limits of...
Successful innovation depends upon complementary innovations and stimulation of investment in related fields; accumulated capacity in various related technologies comprises critical innovation infrastructure for an emerging industry, as well as for a nation that intends to reinforce its overall innovative capacity. As a technology latecomer aiming at reducing its energy dependence on fossil fuel as...
The production of noble Eucalyptus oil from Eucalyptus leaves brings a mass of extracting wastewater pollutive to water environment. In order to better utilize and recover the productive wastewater from the Eucalyptus oil, we used pyrolysis-GC/MS to analyze the possible top value-added components of benzene/ethanol extractives of leaves of two Eucalyptus cultivars, i.e. E.dunnii and E.grandis. Relative...
The public discourse on sustainable technology often involves a disconnect between political and engineering perspectives. This paper illustrates this disconnect in a case study of a dasiatechnology discourserdquo involving stakeholders in the biofuels industry. It concludes that professional associations such as the IEEE can promote the effective engagement of engineers in the public discussion of...
Today, the U.S. consumes almost 21 million barrels of crude oil per day; approximately 60% of the U.S. demand is supplied by imports. The transportation sector alone accounts for two-thirds of U.S. petroleum use. Biofuels, liquid fuels produced from domestically-grown biomass, have the potential to displace about 30% of current U.S. gasoline consumption. Transitioning to a biofuels industry on this...
