Biofuels for road transport: Analysing evolving supply chains in Sweden from an energy security perspective

“…Energy supply chains that utilise renewable energy are dependent on flows instead of extracting stocks. For example, seasonal variations in crop yield and competition with other sectors, such as food production, may restrict the amount of available resources [30]. A previous study has indicated a low risk for agricultural output for Sweden, measured as yearly variability of agricultural production [31].…”

Production and Characterization of Biofuel from Non-Edible Oils: An Alternative Energy Sources to Petrol Diesel

“…This is an indication that biodiesel can operates in compression ignition engines like petroleum diesel without requiring no essential engine modifications [14][15][16]. Moreover it can maintain the payload capacity and range of conventional diesel unlike fossil diesel, pure biodiesel is biodegradable, nontoxic and essentially free of sulphur and aromatics [17][18][19]. A growing number of transport fleets use it as an additive in their fuel.…”

Extraction and Optimization of Oil from Moringa Oleifera Seed as an Alternative Feedstock for the Production of Biodiesel

“…This massive capacity to convert grain into fuel means that the price of grain is now tied to the price of oil. The same phenomenon is also happening in Brazil, where distills ethanol from sugar cane, ranks second in production after the United States, while the European Union's goal of getting 10 percent of its transport energy from renewable, mostly biofuel, by 2020 is also diverting land from food crops (Eaves and Eaves, 2007).…”
