EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractON THE CHALLENGES OF THE USE AND INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESMariano MartínOverview: Although renewable energy sources are plentiful, their availability is highly volatile in time and distributed across regions while and the processes that transform them into useful power or chemicals are underdeveloped. In this work we discuss on the scope for the use and integration of renewable energy sources and the future development of the alternatives. Energy, the sources and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 11 Sep 2014 · 7,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT FOR OIL PALM BASED PLYWOOD: A GATE-TO-GATE CASE STUDYM. Shamim Ahmad, Vijaya Subramaniam, Halimah Mohammad et al.Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an important tool for identifying potential environmental impacts associated with the production of palm based plywood. This study is to make available the life cycle inventory for gate-to-gate data so that the environmental impact posed by oil palm based plywood production can be assessed. Conducting an LCA on the palm based plywood that are derived … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2014 · 9,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPYROLYSIS OF EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES: INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON THE YIELDS AND COMPOSITION OF GASEOUS PRODUCTMohamad Azri Sukiran, Loh Soh Kheang, Nasrin Abu Bakar, Choo Yuen MayWith the increasing concern on fossil fuel depletion and environmental problems, the utilization of renewable biomass resources is expected to play an important role in the future. Biomass can be converted into a variety of fuels and chemicals by different processes; one of which is pyrolysis that has been subjected to extensive research in recent years. In this study, pyrolysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Natural Water with Cow Dung and Agricultural Waste Ratio on Biogas Production from Anaerobic Co-DigestionNaponKeanoi, KanokornHussaro, Sombat TeekasapGlobal warming caused by energy generation from fossil fuel has accelerated the deployment of renewable fuels such as biogas. In this study, batch fermentation (5L) was studied to observe the effect of natural water, cow dung, rice straw and water hyacinth ratio on the biogas and methane production at ambient temperature (31°C), 7.1-7.4 of pH for 52 days. The five … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 22 Jan 2014 · 8,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrochemical Supply Chain’s Share in Emission of Green House Gases, Case Study: Shazand Petrochemical ComplexNaser Moharamned, Masoud Aghajani, Faride Atabi, Sahar AzarkamandIn this study petrochemical supply chain shares in global warming is studied by monitoring carbon footprint during manufacturing and distribution phase. For identification and measurement of carbon emissions in petrochemical supply chain, at first step necessary data are collected. Then carbon footprint is calculated in manufacturing process. So GHG is measured during fossil fuel use for chemical productions and electricity … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombustion, Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine with Neem Oil Methyl Ester and its Diesel BlendsL. Prabhu, S. Sathish Kumar, M. Prabhahar, K. RajanBiodiesel, an alternative fuel is derived from the fats of animals and plants. As energy demands increase and fossil fuels are limited, research is directed towards alternative renewable fuels. The main advantages of using this alternative fuel are its renewability, biodegradability and better quality of exhaust gases. It is technically competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional petro-diesel fuel for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
