Performance and emission opacity of canola and soybean biodiesel fuel in a diesel engine

Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2018
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel known to produce more environmentally friendly emissions compared to diesel fuel. However, at times it has been reported as exhibiting a much lower engine performance compared to standard diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel has the

Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

Assessing the Effects of Biodiesel Production on Sustainability: A Bayesian Two‐Stage Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable development transforms production systems, requiring integrated environmental, social, and economic strategies. Energy systems are key agro‐industrial supply chains in developing countries. Brazil's soybean supply chain impacts Gross Domestic Product, mainly through exports.

Identifying and Navigating Barriers to ESG Strategy Implementation: Perspectives of Corporate Senior Leaders in a MENA Context

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective ESG implementation remains a critical yet persistently underachieved organisational priority, particularly in emerging markets where reporting standards, leadership capabilities, and regulatory environments remain inconsistent. This paper aims to develop an interpretive framework that senior leaders in large organisations can apply ...

Advancements and Challenges in Second‐ and Third‐Generation Biofuels: A Comparative Analysis of Lignocellulosic and Algal Feedstocks

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advanced biofuels derived from nonfood biomass are increasingly recognized as strategic components of low‐carbon energy systems, particularly for sectors where direct electrification remains difficult. Second‐generation biofuels from lignocellulosic residues and third‐generation biofuels from algal and aquatic biomass offer complementary ...

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.
