Workshop: Biodiesel from different lipids sources
Chair / Presidente: Blake A. Simmons (US)
The issue of geopolitics and dependence from fossil energy sources is becoming of paramount strategic relevance, pushing up the demand for alternative energy sources. Further to solar and wind sources, a huge variety of feedstocks are increasingly considered for producing energy by different conversion processes, either biological, thermal and chemical. Among these, transesterification of lipids for production of biodiesel has been receiving in the last decades a significant attention both at research and applicative level. Critical aspects include the need of finding alternative lipids sources other than energy crops, which are competing with the use of agriculture for food production, and cleaner biodiesel production processes. The workshop focus on these aspects, trying to provide sustainable solutions. Introductory lectures:
