European Biofuels Directive – I RED II
Approved by the European Parliament, the new Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), It is a document that establishes a goal of 32% of energy from renewable sources in the European Union to 2030. The Commission's original proposal did not include a transport target, that was introduced by lawmakers in the final agreement: Member States must demand […]
wind energy: one of the most promising sources of energy
Wind is the short-scale flow of gases. In the land, corresponds to air displacement, which migrates from regions of high atmospheric pressure to points where this pressure is lower. In addition to facilitating the dispersion of pollutants, it is abundant and infinite. And then there's a great opportunity: the wind energy. We are currently faced with challenges such as reducing high emissions of […]
Biodiesel: how is it produced, Brazilian history and its market advantages
Biodiesel is a biodegradable fuel derived from renewable sources such as vegetable oils and animal fats. to produce it, the oil taken from the plants is mixed with alcohol, or methanol, and then stimulated by a catalyst. Then the oil is separated from the glycerin, used in soap making, and later filtered. There are different species of oilseeds […]
