“…Input-output analyses have the same positive result for various regions of the USA [15][16][17][18], Canada [19], Brazil [20,21], Australia [1], Thailand [22], the European Union [3], Croatia [23] and Germany [2]. Obviously, a positive impact on GDP is inherent if the impact of biofuels on the economy is modelled as additional final demand for a new sector without taking into account any substitution effects (fossil fuels) or constraints (e.g.…”

“…The idea of chemically altering vegetable oils was noted even before World War II. Walton wrote in 1938 "to get the utmost value from vegetable oils as fuels it is academically necessary to split the glycerides and to run on the residual fatty acid" because "the glycerides are likely to cause an excess of carbon in comparison" [8].…”

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel derived from vegetable oils by modifying their molecular structure through transesterification process. Linseed oil methyl ester (LOME) was prepared using methanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide as catalyst. Use of linseed oil methyl ester in compression ignition engines was found to develop a very compatible engine-fuel system with lower emission characteristics. Two identical engines were subjected to long-term endurance tests, fuelled by optimum biodiesel blend (20% LOME) and diesel oil respectively. Various tribological studies on lubricating oil samples drawn at regular intervals for both engines were conducted in order to correlate the comparative performance of the two fuels and the effect of fuel chemistry on lubricating oil performance and life. A number of tests were conducted in order to evaluate comparative performance of the two fuels such as density measurement, viscosity measurements, flash point determination, moisture content determination, pentane and benzene insolubles, thin layer chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry etc. All these tests were used for indirect interpretation of comparative performance of these fuels. Biodiesel fuels performance is found to be superior to that of diesel oil and the lubricating oil life is found to have increased, while operating the engine on this fuel.

“…Biodiesel is gaining importance due to its environmental and economic benefits (Leão et al, 2011). It can replace diesel fuel without causing any harm to conventional diesel engines while reducing hazardous exhaust emissions (Van dyne et al, 1996). Zhang et al (2003) affirmed that biodiesel is biodegradable and non-toxic and that its combustion emission profile is environmentally friendly compared to petroleum-based diesel.…”

The Brazilian program for biodiesel use highlights the production of biodiesel from castor seeds. Biodiesel is a non-polluting energy source that has the potential to promote prosperity by creating jobs in poor regions of Brazil. However, the infrastructure, logistics, and proper facilities are lacking. A variety of approaches to optimizing the biodiesel supply chain have been proposed. The goal is to minimize the grain storage and transportation costs. This paper presents a comparison between a two-stage model and a multistage (three-stage) stochastic model to optimize the biodiesel supply chain. The comparison between these formulations shows that the flexibility gain provided by the multistage model results in a lower total logistic cost. The optimum for the three-stage model was 7,700,019 (BRL), compared to 8,628,002 (BRL) for the two-stage model, representing a savings of 927,983 (BRL). We highlight that this model offers a real solution for castor supply chain design (considering uncertainty) in the Brazilian semiarid region, which is a poorer region of the country, thus making cost reduction mandatory.
