Описание
As global energy consumption continues to rise, resulting in higher energy demand, the inadequate supply of fossil fuels becomes apparent. Conventional diesel fuel, which is produced by distilling crude oil, is essential for driving automobiles. Renewable energy sources could be a viable substitute for conventional diesel that comes from fossil fuels. Triglycerides and alcohol can be converted into biodiesel, a sustainable liquid fuel, using a straightforward procedure called transesterification. After conducting research, the International Energy Agency (IEA) concluded that approximately 80% of the world's total primary energy comes from fossil fuels, with oil accounting for 32.8%, followed by coal at 27.2%, and natural gas ranking third at 20.9%. VERDEDRIVE [Harnessing by-products for the creation of eco-friendly and sustainable diesel fuel] rationale lies in suggesting investigating and examination of the possibility of utilizing by-products for the production of renewable and green diesel. Specifically, the project aims to conduct a comparative study of oils derived from alternative natural crops and raw materials—Roses petals, Sour Cherries (Variety Oblaćinska višnja), Maize, Local Soybean Variates and Cynara cardunculus—with the objective of identifying the most suitable raw material for the production of green diesel. VERDEDRIVE encompasses a comprehensive approach to biofuel production from by-products, integrating precision agriculture and surveillance technologies in the collection and processing stages, in conjunction with state-of-the-art methodologies from the fields of Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science, Agriculture, Biotechnology, Modelling, Computer Engineering and Environment Engineering, aims to demonstrate a scientifically-sound approach to biofuel production. VERDEDRIVE activities are strategically positioned to drive innovation in response to demand in the biofuels sector.
