“…Efforts of Researchers came out as the implementation of Biodiesels as a source to present engines to mitigate the ill effects of fossil fuels like diesel. Biodiesel is one such option which has properties close to diesel fuel [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. This biodiesel, however, has the disadvantage of high viscosity and a lower heating value compared to neat Diesel [20].…”

Biodiesel is a renewable diesel fuel that can be burned in any unmodified diesel engine at any concentration. Biodiesel from Nodularia Spumigena microalgae produced by transesterification is used in the present study. Methyl esters of algae have been prepared after successful extraction of biomass in an open pond cultivation system. Biodiesel was blended with diesel fuel with the volumetric ratios of 10% (A10) and 20% (A20). The experiments were conducted on a constant speed (1500 rpm), 4-stroke diesel engine fitted with diesel particulate filter (DPF) at a fuel injection pressure of 180 bar. Methyl esters of Karanja oil, Rice Bran oil, and Castor oil were also tested in the same engine for comparison. BSFC values increased with increase in Biodiesel blend percentage in diesel. However, K20 and A20 showed fuel economy by 5.51% and 10.06% in comparison to diesel. The emissions of CO and HC with fuel A20 are decreased by 65.77% and 53.33% respectively. The NOx emission showed an increasing trend with the blending of algae methyl esters in diesel. The presence of DPF is credited for significant reduction of PM emissions. The results predicted that the usage of algae blends could be supported, although there is a slight reduction in engine performance and an increase in NOx emissions.

“…Global biodiesel production is expected to reach 39 billion liters by 2024, corresponding to a 27% increase from 2016. It is important to point out that the cost of biodiesel from the first generation biodiesel feedstock is currently 30% higher than of petroleum-based diesel [48]. Furthermore, it is estimated that 60-80% of the biodiesel production cost stems from the cost of raw materials.…”

Maize - Production and Use

Maize is the predominant raw material (together with sugar cane) for the production of bioethanol, the most common and widespread biofuel, and at the same time the predominant raw material for biogas production, with the highest yields in Europe. The advantage of maize biomass over other energy plants is the fact that biomass occurs after harvesting the seed and does not require the use of a different area for its development. The main drawback of the use of maize biomass is the negative effects of removing crop residues on fertility and the physical properties of the soil. Bioethanol's share of global biofuel production is over 94%, as many countries are replacing a portion of their fossil fuels with biofuels, according to international regulations. The choice of crops used as feedstock for the production of bioethanol is strongly associated with local climatic factors. About 60% of world bioethanol production is made with cane raw material in the Central and South American countries, with Brazil leading, while the remaining 40% from other crops with North America producing bioethanol almost exclusively from maize, and the EU uses as raw material raw starch (cereals and maize) as well as crops such as sugar beet and sweet sorghum.

“…While national biodiesel policy implementation in major producing countries such as USA, Brazil and Germany (Su, Zhang & Su, 2015) seems to address a wide range of interests across several objectives, according to Rouhany and Montgomery (2018), the situation is actually reversed. They stated that: "In reality, the support of specific sectors and interests, such as farm lobbies and energy groups, often determines policy design and implementation ".…”

“…Almost or all of their supply is used to meet domestic mandate-driven demand. According to Rouhany and Montgomery (2018), "this dual role, as both producer and consumer, partially explains the limited international trade in biodiesel feedstock". On the other hand, various actions by the Government of Serbia have led to the almost complete shutdown of the domestic biodiesel industry (Tešić, Kiš & Janković, 2010; Latinović, 2019; 2019a) which goes against the policies of the European Union concerning the use of biofuels, specifically Directive 2009/28/EC (Directive 2009/28/EC) that implies 10 % of biofuels in transport fuel by the end of 2020.…”

If Serbia is to continue with European integration, European policies related to the use of biofuels will have to be implemented. Directive 2009/28/EC implies 10% of biofuels in transport fuel by the end of 2020. Although the production and use of biodiesel is in line with the practice of developed countries, Serbia does not produce nor use significant quantities of this fuel. Based on the conducted analysis, it was established that Serbia has the potential to produce biodiesel by processing its domestic raw materials. The logical step, then, is to re-establish the domestic biodiesel industry. This paper presents and discuss important factors for biodiesel producers or / and investors, in an attempt to mitigate business risks or to provide a starting point in a search for ways to turn these factors into gains. The PESTLE framework was used for classification of these factors, on account of its common use in making strategic decisions.
