Journal ArticleDOI
Mass Production of the Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia illucens (L.), (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) Reared on Three Manure Types.
TL;DR: This study investigates the production of BSF fed animal manure (swine, dairy, and poultry) at a larger scale (thousands of larvae fed kg of diet) than what has been previously published (small-scale studies with hundreds of larvae feeding g of diet).
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme-assisted extraction of insect fat for biodiesel production.
TL;DR: In this paper, an enzyme-assisted method for extracting fat from BSFL biomass for biodiesel production was proposed, where different proteases were used to pretreat BSFL before the extraction by n-hexane and Protamex was the most effective for pretreatment, resulting in the highest fat yield.

Optimization of biodiesel production from Moringa oleifera seeds oil in the presence of nano-MgO using Taguchi method
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of effective factors including methanol-to-oil ratio, catalyst concentration, temperature, and reaction time were elucidated upon the biodiesel production, and the best operating conditions were obtained for the highest production performance using the Taguchi method and MINITAB software.

Biodiesel from microalgae.
TL;DR: As demonstrated here, microalgae appear to be the only source of renewable biodiesel that is capable of meeting the global demand for transport fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion of fat and vegetable oil derived fuels in diesel engines
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of fat and oil derived diesel fuels with respect to fuel properties, engine performance, and emissions is reviewed, and it is concluded that the price of the feedstock fat or oil is the major factor determining biodiesel price.

Renewable energy consumption, CO2 emissions and oil prices in the G7 countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and estimate an empirical model of renewable energy consumption for the G7 countries and show that in the long term, increases in real GDP per capita and CO2 per capita are major drivers behind per capita renewable energy usage.
