Transportation currently takes up around a third of overall energy usage, of which the majority is petroleum-based gasoline. Petroleum is both a finite resource and a big contributor to the carbon emissions that are causing climate change. To continue to benefit from transportation whilst mitigating climate change it is essential to find alternatives to petroleum-based gasoline. Although a lot of recent developments have focused on electrifying transport the infrastructure for large scale uptake of electric vehicles is still lacking and it may be less practical in some parts of the world than others. Biofuels, therefore, still have a role to play in improving the sustainability of our transportation systems.

The term green gasoline refers to biofuels intended to be direct drop-in replacements for petroleum-based gasoline. Such products allow vehicles to run on biofuel without any engine modifications and, being made from biomass, they are both renewable and have a better carbon emission profile than petroleum-based gasoline.

Green Gasoline covers a range of new technologies being used to produce these biofuels and compares them to petroleum-based fuels in terms of sustainability. It will be an interesting read for those working in fuel chemistry as well as green chemists and anyone with an interest in transport sustainability.

Sustainable aviation fuels have the potential to make an essential contribution to decarbonizing the aviation sector and play an important role in strengthening the circular bioeconomy. This book presents recent advances and challenges in sustainable aviation fuel, with contributions from a global group of industry experts exploring alternative fuel technologies, feedstocks and conversion processes, combustion performance and emissions, and the technical and environmental challenges of implementing the use of alternative fuels for aviation. The book presents sustainability assessments, including techno-economic analyses and lifecycle assessments on developing sustainable aviation fuels from renewable sources, mainly from second and third-generation biomass feedstocks.

Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Recent Advances and Future Challenges provides an excellent overview of

the aviation and green energy sectors and is an invaluable resource for researchers and industry

practitioners working on commercially viable sustainable aviation fuels. The book will also provide a

foundation for graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and professionals working in the

broader fields of sustainable energy.

Biorefineries are increasingly important in providing sustainable routes to the oil industry. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of biocrude biorefinery to convert biocrude into environmentally friendly fuels and high-value-added products.

It begins by discussing the biorefinery concept with its fundamentals and biocrude biorefinery as a sustainable solution for bioenergy and the green economy, explaining the chemistry and reaction mechanism behind biocrude production and analysing the different feedstocks, including lignocellulosic biomass, for biocrude production, recent developments and associated challenges.

The second part focuses on waste oils and liquid wastes for sustainable biocrude oil production in a biorefinery approach, as well as on 3rd generation of biorefinery feedstocks (algal biomass) as emerging feedstock for biocrude oil production and high-value products in biorefineries and biocrude oil derived from municipal and industrial organic wastes in the framework of a waste biorefinery concept. Furthermore, bio-oil constitutes a promising energy source for future hydrogen production as well as for the catalytic conversion of crude bio-oil into environmentally friendly transport fuels. The physicochemical and analytical techniques used for the analysis of crude bio-oil with fuel properties and international standards, as well as microbial production and its future applications are also covered.

This book will be of great interest to practitioners, graduate students, researchers and policymakers involved in crude bio-oil biorefineries for sustainable development. This book also explores the relationship between biofuels and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7. Furthermore, the book lays a solid foundation for the establishment of crude bio-oil-based biorefineries and thus contributes to a sustainable, cleaner, greener and livable blue planet for the next generations. Crude bio-oil is likely to be the "green gold" of the biorefinery of the future and this book will be a milestone for biorefineries.

This book covers the entire spectrum of green diesel and their applications in existing CI engines. This book discusses how a green diesel is a better fuel than biodiesel and petrodiesel and more suitable fuels for sustainable future development. The book begins with a concise overview of the fundamentals of the green diesel properties, preparation, and characterization of green diesel using hydroprocessing technology. The book covers recent developments in the domain of green diesel derived particularly from the second-/third-generation feedstocks. Various topics covered in this book include the catalysts involved in the processing of green diesel, characterization of the products as per ASTM/EN protocols. In addition, the book also illustrates characteristic features of green diesel and how it is different from biodiesel and petrodiesel. Other chapters cover performance and emission characteristics of green diesel in CI engines and techno-economic analysis. Moreover, the current status of green diesel industries is also incorporated. This book is of particular interest to graduate students and academic or industrial researchers/professionals working in the area of green diesel/green energy, bioenergy and mechanical, automobile, and chemical engineering. This book makes a forceful foundation for the establishment of green diesel refineries/biorefineries for a sustainable, cleaner, and greener future.
