Energy efficiency and management is certainly one of the key drivers of human progress. Thus, the trends in the energy research are a topic of interest for the scientific community. The aim of this study is to highlight global research trends in this field through the analysis of a scientific journal indexed exclusively in the energy and fuels category. For this purpose, a journal has been selected that is in the center of the category considering its impact factor, which is only indexed in this category and of open access, Energies of the publisher MDPI. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis of all the contents of the journal between 2008 and 2020, 13,740 documents published, has been carried out. Analyzing the articles that are linked to each other by their citations, 14 clusters or research topics have been detected: smart grids; climate change–electric energy community; energy storage; bioenergy sources; prediction algorithms applied to power; optimization of the grid link for renewable energy; wind power; sustainability of power systems; hydrocarbon improvements; conversion of thermal/electrical energy; electric motor advancements; marine renewable energy; hydropower and energy storage; and preventive techniques in power transformers. The main keywords found were electric vehicle, renewable energy, microgrid, smart grid, and energy efficiency. In short, energy research remains necessary to meet the future challenge of sustainable energy with high efficiency and the exploration of new renewable resources, all for increasingly sustainable cities.

“…Biomass is considered as a renewable resource because of its short life cycle, and biomassderived biofuels are potential substitutes to fossil fuels [1]. Gasification is a process that converts solid fuel into gas, which could allow the wider implementation of biomass to produce electricity on a small and commercial scale.…”

The article is focused on the determination of explosion characteristics of energo gas produced from an industrial scale, biomass gasifier. The results underline that the composition of energo gas from industrial technology has a significant impact on the gas explosion characteristics. The gas explosion experiments were carried out in the spherical 20-L explosion vessel. The Real gas was sampled into the 50-L Tedlar bags, introduced into the vessel and mixed with air by a partial-pressure method. Absolute explosion pressure for energo gas air mixture was higher than 6 bar for the energo gas optimum concentration close to 30 vol. % of fuel. The maximum rate of pressure rise and the deflagration index have been determined. Obtained explosion characteristics could be used to describe the explosion process and to rate the effects of an explosion.

“…Recent pollution episodes in big cities have prompted the adoption of local and regional policies that will progressively (from the present to 2040-2050) ban internal combustion vehicles. Electricity from renewable sources will be decisive to achieve and maintain a fully sustainable mobility system as it has been analyzed in detail elsewhere [1], but the short-and-mid-term attention must be focused on developing renewable and sustainable fuels, especially those with a more beneficial carbon balance [2].…”

Selection of Blends of Diesel Fuel and Advanced Biofuels Based on Their Physical and Thermochemical Properties

et al. 2019

Current policies focus on encouraging the use of renewable energy sources in transport to reduce the contribution of this sector to global warming and air pollution. In the short-term, attention is focused on developing renewable fuels. Among them, the so-called advanced biofuels, including non-crop and waste-based biofuels, possess important benefits such as higher greenhouse gas (GHG) emission savings and the capacity not to compete with food markets. Recently, European institutions have agreed on specific targets for the new Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001), including 14% of renewable energy in rail and road transport by 2030. To achieve this, advanced biofuels will be double-counted, and their contribution must be at least 3.5% in 2030 (with a phase-in calendar from 2020). In this work, the fuel properties of blends of regular diesel fuel with four advanced biofuels derived from different sources and production processes are examined. These biofuels are (1) biobutanol produced by microbial ABE fermentation from renewable material, (2) HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) derived from hydrogenation of non-edible oils, (3) biodiesel from waste free fatty acids originated in the oil refining industry, and (4) a novel biofuel that combines fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and glycerol formal esters (FAGE), which contributes to a decrease in the excess of glycerol from current biodiesel plants. Blending ratios include 5, 10, 15, and 20% (% vol.) of biofuel, covering the range expected for biofuels in future years. Pure fuels and some higher ratios are considered as well to complete and discuss the tendencies. In the case of biodiesel and FAME/FAGE blends in diesel, ratios up to 20% meet all requirements set in current fuel quality standards. Larger blending ratios are possible for HVO blends if HVO is additivated to lubricity improvers. For biobutanol blends, the recommended blending ratio is limited to 10% or lower to avoid high water content and low cetane number.
