American Standard for Testing and Materials
(ASTM):
a fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids
derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100,
and meeting the requirements of ASTM D 6751 to be use for
transport or heating
BIODIESEL DEFINITION
European Directive 2003/30/CE
Biodiesel is a methyl-ester produced from vegetable or
animal oil, of diesel quality to be used as biofuel in internal
combustion engines

FEEDSTOCKS FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION
6. 6
*BIODIESEL: mono-alkyl esters from fatty
acids
Shorter molecules, linear chain, less carbono
content Lower viscosity and
characteristics similar to fossil diesel
*PURE PLANT OILS (PPO):
Large and branches molecules, high carbon
content High viscosity
PPO VERSUS BIODIESEL

21. 21O-acetil - galactoglucomanano
THE REAL HEADACHE FOR DEVELOPING BIOFUELSTHE REAL HEADACHE FOR DEVELOPING BIOFUELS
The contrast between what we have (carbohydrates) and
what we want (oxygen-deficient fuels)
O-acethyl- 4- O- methylglucuronoxylan
arabin- 4- O- methylglucuronoxylan
glucomanan
Carbohydrates are large polymer chains containing
C5 and C5 sugars and a similar number of oxygen
atoms
Optimal fuel molecules for automobile engines must
be small (5-15 carbons) and contain little oxygen
The challenge is finding a way of breaking down
carbohydrates to form small molecules, while
simultaneously removing the oxygen and minimizing
the loss of energy value of original biomass

• Ethanol from lignocellulose is close to commercialization
• Technological advances to reduce the costs of ethanol
production of the bioetanol are still needed.
• Basic and applied research, technological development and
demonstration projects must carried in a coordinated way
CONCLUDING REMARKS
Good morning. My name is Mercedes Ballesteros and I am responsible for Biomass Unit at CIEMAT. I am going to try to give you a fairly brief overview of research and development activities of the biomass Unit. But, first at all let me say some general comments about biomass as an energy resource in the European Union.
Para evitar la<desactivación se puede utilizar otro alcohol como butanol, hacer una separación continua del glicerol por diálisis, o extracción del metanol. Tb se puede añadir el metanol poco a poco de manera que se mantenga siempre un bajo nivel.
Tanto extracelulares como intracelulares se utilizan inmovilizadas, lo que elimina las operaciones corriente debajo de separación y reciclado. Mejoran los rendimientos en comparación con las enzimas libres. Las extracelulares requieren complejos procesos de purificación.
matriz sólida porosa constituida generalmente por prepolímeros fotoentrucruzables o polímeros del tipo poliacrilamida,
colágeno, alginato, carraginato o resinas de poliuretano. El proceso de inmovilización se lleva a cabo mediante la suspensión de la enzima en una solución del monómero. Seguidamente se inicia la polimerización por un cambio de temperatura o mediante la adición de un reactivo químico.
Tb membranas semipermeables.
