Vegetable Oil in Energy, Volume 1: Biofuel Technology examines the conversion processes involved in the production of biofuels from vegetable oils. With a strong focus on methodologies and protocols, the book provides step-by-step guidance on a comprehensive range of production pathways for liquid and gaseous biofuels. The first part of the book provides an overview of present vegetable oil production. Subsequent chapters describe the key production pathways, including pyrolysis, decarboxylation, deoxygenation, catalytic cracking processes, esterification, trans-esterification, anaerobic digestion, catalytic pyrolysis, and more. The economic potential of different vegetable oil feedstocks is discussed within each chapter.Finally, chapters are dedicated to sustainability, examining the environmental and socioeconomic impact of production, with an emphasis on GHG emission reduction. This book provides readers with the latest developments in the production of biofuels from vegetable oils, which will be of interest to students, researchers, and industry professionals involved in bioenergy and renewable energy, and may be of interest to interdisciplinary teams working across biotechnology, chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental science and sustainability sciences.Presents the latest advances in biofuel technology, including the use of microreactors, ultrasonic-assisted systems, microwave-assisted systems, high shear mixing reactors and supercritical processesProvides step-by-step guidance on the latest methods and processesAssesses the sustainability of the various biofuels production pathways from edible and non-edible vegetable seed oil

Vegetable Oil in Energy: The Conversion of Seed Oil to Biofuel, Volume Two presents the latest catalysts, composites, methodologies and technologies used in the conversion of seed oil to biofuel. With an emphasis on feedstock, the book discusses the availability, potential future output, and production pathways for edible and non-edible seed oil. Sections provide an overview of production pathways for seed oil conversion to biofuel and examine engine performance of common seed oil-based biofuels. Chapters also discuss availability and cultivation, production pathways and performance optimization. Feedstock considered include jatrophra, lemon strip, palm, rapeseed, sunflower, olive, coconut, peanut, soya, cotton, and more.The book's final chapters examine the sustainability of vegetable oil as a viable long-term replacement for fossil fuels. This comprehensive resource will be of interest to students, researchers and industry professionals involved in bioenergy and renewable energy, and may be of interest to interdisciplinary teams working across biotechnology, chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental science and sustainability sciences.
