The Atlantica Centre for Energy explored two common biofuels used today in Biofuels 101: Biodiesel and Ethanol. While there are several other types of biofuels growing in importance, renewable diesel may play a particularly important role in Atlantic Canada’s energy future. What is renewable diesel? Renewable diesel is a synthetic
Two biofuels commonly used today in Atlantic Canada are ethanol and biodiesel, which are blended in gasoline and diesel, respectively. Ethanol and biodiesel are considered renewable fuels because they are produced from biomass. What is biodiesel? Biodiesel is also known as FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). It is a renewable biodegradable alternative fuel substitute
Bioenergy is energy produced from renewable, biological sources such as biomass. Biomass is plant material that can be turned into fuel to supply heat and electricity. This article will focus on forest biomass, which is the most common source in Atlantic Canada. Biomass is considered a source of clean, renewable
