Assessment of the effects of microwave‐produced biodiesel blends on electric generator performance and emissions

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiesels are emerging as alternatives to diesel fuel. However, to be a feasible solution, biodiesels must meet strict criteria including high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The current study focuses on evaluating ethyl ester biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel to assess their potential.

The Critical Role of Economies of Scale: A Techno‐Economic Assessment of Small‐ Versus Large‐Scale Biogas Upgrading in Rural Tanzania

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Small‐scale biogas upgrading can improve methane quality but remains financially unattractive to individual rural households. Community‐scale implementation substantially lowers energy costs, demonstrating that economies of scale are critical to making purified biogas a viable clean‐cooking option in Tanzania.
