How are vehicle fleets becoming more sustainable?
The deepening climate crisis, not mention rising prices, has made us all more aware than ever about the importance of sustainability. These days, more and more vehicle fleets are making an increased move towards sustainability to make them more affordable and to do their bit for the planet. This can involve looking at the type of vehicles that you run, the routes that you take and the fuels that ...

How You Can Use A Biomass Pyrolysis Plant For Profit
Just what is a biomass pyrolysis plant? Biomass is definitely the term for trees, straw, and lignocellulose, along with other waste materials which are not burned, like the waste through the farming industry and livestock manure. These waste matters are renewable, low in pollution, and widely distributed. Kingtiger created a biomass pyrolysis plant to promote, that can turn biomass into biogas ...

Micro-Hydros Earn First Carbon Revenue in Nepal
MICRO-HYDROS EARN FIRST CARBON REVENUE IN NEPAL While the rugged mountains of rural Nepal don’t lend themselves to grid-fed electricity, their rivers, lakes, and glacial melt offer plenty of renewable resources for energy. Between 2007 and 2014, over 400 micro run-of-the-river hydropower plants were built by the Nepali government with help from the World Bank as part of the Nepal ...

Optimal sizing of a hybrid energy system for a semi-arid climate using an evolutionary algorithm
The use of a genetic algorithm (GA) for optimal sizing of an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is reported. As a pre-feasibility analysis and to determine the appropriate HRES type to be studied, wind energy potential and solar irradiation are first examined for the considered region (Tehran, Iran). These are inputs of the algorithm, and are assessed throughout a year utilising ...

Assessment of fuel efficiency of neem biodiesel (Azadirachta indica) in a single cylinder diesel engine
Increase of petroleum diesel usage and its environmental pollution necessitate the study of alternate fuel production. Vegetable oils are the viable alternate form of non–polluted, renewable fuel to diesel engines. In this work, the non–edible oil, neem (Azadirachta indica) was used to produce biodiesel by a two step transesterification process. The fuel properties of the biodiesel thus produced ...

Changing World Technologies
Location: Carthage, MO Project Start Date: 2011 Element Markets recently forged a relationship with Changing World Technologies (CWT) to market the company’s Renewable Fuel Credits. CWT uses a patented process in its Missouri facility to transform organic and agricultural wastes into renewable diesel fuel oil (RDO). The EPA designated this RDO as a biomass based diesel under the ...

A novel stabilisation scheme for hybrid photovoltaic, fuel–cell and diesel gen–set utilisation system
The paper presents a novel FACTS–based modulated filter compensator scheme for a hybrid renewable photovoltaic–diesel–fuel cell common DC bus interface scheme. The proposed standalone photovoltaic–diesel–fuel system is fully interfaced using the common AC–DC collection bus topology. This allows for full decoupling of AC and DC type green source and ensures full flexibility in controlling the ...

Empirical approach for the prediction of cetane number from the FAME composition
Cetane number is a prime indicator in evaluating the quality of biodiesel fuel in the realm of diesel engines. Standards have been established world wide for cetane number determination, for example, ASTM D 613 in the USA, internationally, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard ISO 5165, etc. These methods are usually arduous and expensive; the values obtained are ...
