biodiesel, produced from soybeans provide benefits over the petroleum-based fuels they displace. To be a viable alternative to fossil fuels, a biofuel (ethanol or biodiesel) should provide a net energy gain, have superior environmental benefits, be economically competitive with fossil fuels and producible in large quantities without reducing the food security. Both biofuels, ethanol and biodiesel, provide more energy than is needed for the production process, this means they have a positive net…

matter of fact, biodiesel is so called not only because of biologically derivation as waste raw materials are also commonly used in production (Sunggyu Lee 2012). Compared with massive GHG emissions of CO2, SOx, NOx, which are produced by fossil fuels, biodiesel takes advantages on its clean and low-carbon benefits, which is an ideal substitute for traditional petroleum-based diesel used in transportation and energy generation. Besides environmental factors,…

1950s as an experimental technology, and was used in over 3,000 wells. By the 1970s, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) imposed a regulations on petroleum exports and oil production in the United States, leading to rising gasoline prices in the United States. During this time, the U.S. Department of Energy initiated funding for projects related to the production of unconventional natural gas sources, which lead to the surge of fracking industry.

Alberta is a world-leading energy supplier and exporter of heavy oil for the production of fuel. Gasoline is derived from the distillation of heavy oil and while this resource presents as advantageous for the human population, the displacement of used petroleum into the natural environment has been revealed to be the largest contributor to the pollution in and the destruction of aquatic ecosystems (Ramadass et al. 2014). In this case, gasoline is considered a contaminant or an unwanted substance…
