Description of Technology Demand
Technology Name: Biofuel Energy
Technology Categories: Technology
Technical information: Energy is generated from oil from peanuts, olives or sesame seeds which are called Straight Vegetable Oils (SVO). Biodiesel and ethanol generation is also included.
Functions and Use: SVO biofuel can be produced with a very simple mechanical extraction process, but requires small engine modifications for it to be used in modern diesel engines. The production process for biodiesel is relatively simple but does require additional inputs of hazardous chemicals such as pure methanol and lye, and requires careful quality control. The extra benefits of Biodiesel over SVO are the greater flexibility of uses of the fuel, and also a by-product of its production is glycerine that can be sold for soap production. This type is also SVO biofuel made from seeds of the Jatropha Curcas plant.
