“…and soybean (Table 3), which could help ensure better cold start properties and minimize the formation of white smoke. Similar findings also have been observed in other studies (Griffiths et al, 2012;Talebi et al, 2013). There are no definite specifications of cloud point (CP) and cold filter plugging point (CFPP), due to the different climate condition in the United States and Europe (Knothe, 2011).…”

“…Using the predictive models based on FA composition makes the estimation of fuel property easy and quick, which is of importance in biodiesel-based strain selection (Nascimento et al, 2013;Talebi et al, 2013;Song et al, 2014). The most important feedstock-related properties of biodiesel were found to correlate with composition of the FA, providing also linear best-fit curves (Hoekman et al, 2012;Nascimento et al, 2013;Talebi et al, 2013).…”

“…The appropriate oil quality, besides its yields, is also key desirable characteristic of algal-based biodiesel industry because it influences the efficiency of biodiesel conversion and its quality (Nascimento et al, 2013;Rawat et al, 2013;Talebi et al, 2013). For example, Nannochloropsis, as one of the most promising sources of oil feedstock for biodiesel production, has high biomass production capacity and relatively high lipid content (Rodolfi et al, 2009); however, being rich in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (Doan et al, 2011;Griffiths et al, 2012), which is not desirable for biodiesel properties (e.g., ignition quality and oxidative http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2014.10.008 0960-8524/Ó 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

“…On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the properties of biodiesel produced from oil feedstocks including non-edible oil crops strongly depend on fatty acid profile of the oil (Talebi et al, 2013). recently introduced the BiodieselAnalyzer © software capable of predicting properties of a prospective biodiesel solely based on the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profile of the oil feedstock used.…”

HIGHLIGHTSThis article fully discusses the recent trends in the production of one the most attractive types of biofuels, i.e., biodiesel.with a focus on the existing obstacles for its large scale production. Moreover, recent innovations/improvements under three categories of upstream, mainstream, and downstream processes are also presented. Upstream strategies are mainly focused on seeking more sustainable oil feedstocks and/or enhancing the quality of waste-oriented ones. The mainstream strategies section highlights the numerous attempts made to enhance agitation efficiency including chemical and/or mechanical strategies. Finally, the innovative downstream strategies basically dealing with 1) separation of biodiesel and glycerin, 2) purification of biodiesel and glycerin, and 3) improving the characteristics of the produced fuel, are comprehensively reviewed.

“…Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic biodegradable fuel with low CO 2 emissions obtained from various feedstocks, including oleaginous plants, microalgae and animal fat [60][61][62][63]. It consists of methyl esters of long-chain (C 12 -C 18 ) fatty acids derived from triglycerides that are present in biological feedstocks.…”

Mitigation of man-made climate change, rapid depletion of readily available fossil fuel reserves and facing the growing energy demand that faces mankind in the near future drive the rapid development of economically viable, renewable energy production technologies. It is very likely that greenhouse gas emissions will lead to the significant climate change over the next fifty years. World energy consumption has doubled over the last twenty-five years, and is expected to double again in the next quarter of the 21st century. Our biosphere is at the verge of a severe energy crisis that can no longer be overlooked. Solar radiation represents the most abundant source of clean, renewable energy that is readily available for conversion to solar fuels. Developing clean technologies that utilize practically inexhaustible solar energy that reaches our planet and convert it into the high energy density solar fuels provides an attractive solution to resolving the global energy crisis that mankind faces in the not too distant future. Nature's oxygenic photosynthesis is the most fundamental process that has sustained life on Earth for more than 3.5 billion years through conversion of solar energy into energy of chemical bonds captured in biomass, food and fossil fuels. It is this process that has led to evolution of various forms of life as we know them today. Recent advances in imitating the natural process of photosynthesis by developing biohybrid and synthetic "artificial leaves" capable of solar energy conversion into clean fuels and other high value products, as well as advances in the mechanistic and structural aspects of the natural solar energy converters, photosystem I and photosystem II, allow to address the main challenges: how to maximize solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency, and most importantly: how to store the energy efficiently and use it without significant losses. Last but not least, the question of how to make the process of solar energy conversion into fuel not only efficient but also cost effective, therefore attractive to the consumer, should be properly addressed.
