Renewable diesel - Open Access .click

Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 2010
The search for alternatives to petroleum-based fuels has led to the development of fuels from various sources, including renewable feedstocks such as fats and oils. Several types of fuels can be derived from these triacylglycerol-containing feedstocks. One of them is biodiesel, which is defined as the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils or animal fats.

Industrial fermentation of renewable diesel fuels

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2011
In commodity chemicals, cost drives everything. A working class family of four drives up to the gas pumps and faces a choice of a renewable diesel or petroleum diesel. Renewable diesel costs $0.50 more per gallon. Which fuel do they pick? Petroleum diesel will be the winner every time, unless the renewable fuel can achieve cost and performance parity ...

Comparison of thermodynamic properties of renewable diesel and commercial diesel

2020 5th International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries (REDEC), 2020
This paper presents experimental and predicted results of volumetric properties for two biodiesels: Soybean Oil Biodiesel (SOB) and Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel (WCOB) compared to the Normafluid as commercial diesel. Densities of SOB and WCOB were measured from 298.15 K to 393.15 K and from 0.1 MPa to 140 MPa, using an Anton Paar high-pressure vibrating
