Manufacturing diesel oil from bagasse

US scientists have recently announced a breakthrough new invention, which helps create grease fuel from bagasse to replace diesel engines and lubricants on aircraft.

US successfully built diesel from bagasse

Successful production of plant-based fuel is one of the groundbreaking new inventions that addresses today's pressing environmental problem as well as reducing dependence on petroleum fuels.

The group of American scientists have found a way to produce aircraft biofuel from sugarcane - using MgO and Nb2O5 catalysts to convert bagasse into diesel, greatly reducing emissions. glass House.

The inventor Alexis Bell of the University of California, Berkeley, USA, said: 'We are developing sweet biofuel derived from sugar, extracted from sugar cane, bagasse, combining ingredients This together to replace diesel engines and lubricants on aircraft '.

Professor Alexis Bell explained that fuel provided to the aviation industry always has some stringent requirements: 'The first requirement is zero oxygen because it will reduce the density of burning energy. Second, the fuel must have lubricant properties, to avoid causing corrosion to the turbines. What we develop in this fuel project will meet all those criteria. If sugar beet is used instead of sugar cane, there will be a shortage of fuel and food. Using sugar cane to make bio-gasoline will solve the problem '.

In the late 2000s, in many countries, some aircraft used biofuels by blending conventional fuels and biofuels. In February 2008, the first aircraft powered by fuel extracted from palm and coconut trees departed at Heathrow Airport (London). In 2011, after receiving approval from aircraft manufacturers, producing fuel and engines, biofuels were put into use for commercial aircraft.

Worldwide, 8 million people travel by plane every day and this number is constantly increasing. In 2012, the emissions of aviation carbon accounted for 2% of global carbon emissions . Therefore, scientists are studying new alternative fuels, replacing traditional fuels.

The research is funded by British oil company BP, which is waiting for a patent. In the future, the production process will be used in the production of lubricants before making clean fuels for aircraft engines.
