- 2. Table of contents Introduction to biodiesel Applications of biodiesel Advantages & disadvantages of biodiesel Sources of biodiesel Future of biodiesel Case study on Iran Conclusions
- 3. Introduction to biodiesel History Rudolf diesel was the inverter of biodiesel, estimated 100 years ago. It was developed in the year 1890s. What is biodiesel? Biodiesel is made up of monoalkyl esters of long chain fatty acids that come from vegetable oil or animal fats. After which, the feedstock is converted by trans- esterification, into biodiesel.
- 4. Biodiesel is replacement for petroleum diesel fuel. It can be blended with petroleum diesel fuel in any proportion. Biodiesel can be used 100% (B100) or in blends with petroleum diesel fuel. Blends are indicated by B##, which correspond to the percentage of biodiesel in the blended fuel.
- 5. Applications of biodiesel Biodiesel has a wide variety of application in all the fields where fuel is used. To add on, it added advantages of efficiency improvement. Examples includes: Motorbikes, Airplanes, Mass transit (trains, buses) Trucks & heavy equipment , Electrical generators Farm equipments, Marine uses ,Biodiesel as lubricant & solvent
- 6. Biodiesel as lubricant and solvent • Potential markets for biodiesel extend beyond the transportation and electrical-generation sectors. Biodiesel can be used straight as a machinery lubricant. Biodiesel’s solvent properties may be used to clean dirty or greasy engine or other machine parts.
- 7. Marine uses Biodiesel is an ideal choice for the use in marine applications. Biodiesel have more environmental benefits. Biodiesel is “user-friendly” Biodiesel can work in several marine factions.

- 16. Microalgae Its species are rich in oil Abundant; almost in every ecosystem CO2+ sunlight -> oxygen + biomass • Produce almost half of the atmospheric oxygen
- 17. Microalgae Biodiesel Under optimized condition, can produce up to 90% oil of dry weight Potential production of oil higher than oil crops • Use little land resource w/o causing potential biomass deficit Can grow in extreme environment Cultivated only by using seawater, CO2 and sunlight
- 21. Microalgae Genetic Engineering • Optimization for enhanced biofuel production • Improve accumulation of Why? targeted bioenergy carriers • Quantity & quality of biodiesel linked as to how lipid metabolism is controlled Solution Manipulate the biology of microalgae cells to allow for secretion of lipids
- 22. Case Study: Future of Bioenergy in Iran Extensive use & export of Iran’s crude oil and natural gas will be limited in the future. Thus renewable liquid fuels will be heavily needed to eventually totally replace petroleum- derived transport fuels which in addition, contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases Salt lake “Urmia” which have given rise to new species of algae for biofuel
- 23. Case Study: Solution for Biodiesel Production Overcoming the challenge, two options • Managing the agriculture residues & energy production like bioethanol and biogas • Investing on non-food crops e.g. microalgae Due to climate & • Looking at this table, microalgae come geographical problems views itself as the only source that has • Only 12% of total land the potential to completely replace area can be use for crop growing thus depending petroleum-derived diesel on energy crops not • Therefore, microalgae genetic feasible engineering would help to visualize more the economic production of biodiesel in Iran
- 24. Case Study: Project on microalgae Researches at Teheran’s Shiraz University carried a biofuel project Microalgae were isolated during a screening program from soil & water • samples are collected from the paddy fields of Fars province and the Maharlu Salt Lake Has succeeded in producing green fuel from the algae Chlamydomonas The researchers registered their findings at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)which is based in the USA
- 25. Case Study: Having potential of using microalgae genetic engineering Iran has a good potential and possibilities due to: Presence of saline lakes in Iran, containing various Good capacity building species of microalgae Establishing microalgae culture ponds in different Gained experiences in plant genetic areas of Iran engineering within the last decade • Unlimited access to saline waters and sunlight Strong government support • Based on the law, production and Presence of highly efficient release of transgenic organisms are genetic engineering free in Iran provided that they pass all technologies in the world the biosafety requirements imposed by Iran’s National Biosafety Law (INBL)
- 26. Conclusions Microalgae genetic engineering have a very promising role in the future as it has great potentials for biofuel production.

Notes de l'éditeur
- -Biodiesel engine had become the engine of selection for reliability, power, and high fuel economy, worldwide. -Simply, the trans-esterification reaction means taking one type of ester and turning it into another. For example, taking vegetable oil and turning it into biodiesel.The alcohol used in the process can be either ethanol ( made from grains) or methanol ( made from wood, coal or natural gas) Methanol is usually preferred because it’s cheaper and tends to produce a more predictable reaction.-If biodiesel is produced with methanol, it is referred to as methyl esters and if it is made with ethanol it is referred to as ethyl esters. A more generic term, alkyl esters, refers to any alcohol-produced vegetable-oil esters.
- For example, a 20% blend of biodiesel with 80% diesel fuel is called B20. B20 is popular because it represents a good balance of cost, emissions, cold weather performance, materials compatibility, and ability to act as a solvent. B20 is also the minimum blend level that can be used for EPAct compliance for covered fleets. Pure Biodiesel (B100) can be used as a blending agent or as a pure fuel in diesel applications. B100 has the following key physical properties: It contains less than 15 ppm sulfur. It contains no aromatics. It has a high cetane level (47+). It is biodegradable. • It is non-toxic. • It has a high flashpoint (higher than 260° F). • It has a comparable BTU value (8% less than No. 2 diesel).
- Lubricant can also use on bearings and gears. A effective cleaning element called Bio-OSR (Bio-oil & sludge remover).Bio-OSR is a biodegradable and environmental friendly product.It uses organic ingredients that comes from vegetation therefore it is safe for handling and transportation.Therefore the properties of Bio-OSR ensure that it does not pose a negative impact on safety, health and environment.http://alphabiofuels.sg/pages/bioOSR/osr_index.html
- After Rudolf diesel’s engine was adapted for marine use as early as 1903. since then, diesel engine have spread to virtually every corner of the world’s marine environment. Unfortunately , diesel engine can cause considerable environmental damages, especially in the case of a petrol diesel fuel spill. Environmental fragility that makes marine use of biodiesel so attractive. Tests have shown that pure biodiesel is non-toxic, readily biodegradable and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. Biodiesel degrades about four times faster than petroleum diesel fuel.(e.g.:when there is spilled in water, biodiesel will be 95% degraded after 28 days as compared with only 40% for petrol diesel in the same time period.)Biodiesel is not harmful to fish and marine life.Biodiesel is easier on humans. By using biodiesel and biodiesel blends have proven to change in exhaust odor. Therefore it will not cause eye irritation.Because biodiesel can replace or blend with petroleum diesel with little or no engine modifications. Categories in marine industry includes: recreational boats, cruise ships and the U.S. Coast Guard Fleet. http://www.biodiesel.org/markets/mar/
- During photosynthesis, algae and other photosynthetic organisms capture carbon dioxide and sunlight, and convert it into oxygen and biomass. These fuels do not affect freshwater resources, can be produced using ocean and wastewater, are biodegradable and relatively harmless to the environment if spilled. Algae farms can be hooked onto existing power plants and be used as huge carbon sinks.
