This second volume of the Handbook of Biodiesel and Petrodiesel
Fuels presents a representative sample of the population papers in
the field of feedstock-specific biodiesel fuels. The research on
feedstocks for biodiesel fuels has first focused on the edible oils
as first-generation biodiesel fuels. However, the public concerns
about the competition with foods based on these feedstocks and
adverse impact on the ecological diversity and deforestation have
resulted in the exploration of nonedible-oil-based biodiesel fuels
as second-generation biodiesel fuels in the first instance. Due to
the ecological and cost benefits of treating wastes, waste
oil-based biodiesel fuels as third-generation biodiesel fuels have
emerged. Furthermore, following a series of influential review
papers, the research has focused on the algal oil-based biodiesel
fuels in recent years. Since the cost of feedstocks in general
constitutes 85% of the total biodiesel production costs, the
research focused more on improving biomass and lipid productivity
in these research fields. Furthermore, since water, CO2, and
nutrients (primarily N and P) have been major ingredients for the
algal biomass and lipid production, the research has also
intensified in the use of wastewaters and flue gases for algal
biomass production to reduce the ecological burdens and the
production costs. Part 1 presents a representative sample of the
population papers in the field of edible oil-based biodiesel fuels
covering major research fronts. It covers soybean oil-based
biodiesel fuels, palm oil-based biodiesel fuels, and rapeseed
oil-based biodiesel fuels as case studies besides an overview
paper. Part 2 presents a representative sample of the population
papers in the field of nonedible oil-based biodiesel fuels covering
major research fronts. It covers Jatropha oil-based biodiesel
fuels, polanga oil-based biodiesel fuels, and moringa oil-based
biodiesel fuels as case studies besides an overview paper. Part 3
presents a representative sample of the population papers in the
field of waste oil-based biodiesel fuels covering major research
fronts. It covers wastewater sludge-based biodiesel fuels, waste
cooking oil-based biodiesel fuels, and microbial oil-based
biodiesel fuels as case studies besides an overview paper. Part 4
presents a representative sample of the population papers in the
field of algal oil-based biodiesel fuels covering major research
fronts. It covers algal biomass production in general, algal
biomass production in wastewaters, algal lipid production,
hydrothermal liquefaction of algal biomass, algal lipid extraction,
and algal biodiesel production besides an overview paper. This book
will be useful to academics and professionals in the fields of
Energy Fuels, Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry,
Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology, Environmental Sciences, and
Thermodynamics. Ozcan Konur is both a materials scientist and
social scientist by training. He has published around 200 journal
papers, book chapters, and conference papers. He has focused on the
bioenergy and biofuels in recent years. In 2018, he edited
'Bioenergy and Biofuels', that brought together the work of over 30
experts in their respective field. He also edited 'Handbook of
Algal Science, Technology, and Medicine' with a strong section on
the algal biofuels in 2020.
