Bio-liquid Fuels in Industrial Plant Oil
Aihua Zhang and Changzhu Li
Abstract With the depletion of fossil energy in the world and the continuous expansion of energy demand, people are actively seeking new alternatives to new energy
fuels. Among these new energy sources, bio-based fuels with high biodegradability
and non-toxicity are more attractive as alternative fuels. The use of non-edible woody
oil as the main raw material for the preparation of bio-based fuels can alleviate the
pressure of edible oil resources, so the development of non-edible woody oil plants
using marginal land has become an inevitable trend. This section describes the main
types, potentials, and developments of non-edible woody vegetable oils as bio-based
fuels.
Keywords Non-edible woody oil · Microalgae oil · Biodiesel · Hydrocarbon-rich
fuel · Bio-jet fuel
Industrial plant oil is an important raw material for bioenergy, chemicals, oil-based
materials, and pharmaceuticals. With the continuous improvement of people’s living
standards, energy and chemical products are urgently required to develop in the
direction of renewable, low toxicity, environment-friendly to the environment. It is
one of the main developing directions of industrial oil to replace the chemical products
with petroleum, natural gas, and coal as the main raw materials [1–5]. Because
industrial plant oil have the advantages of low toxicity, easy biodegradation, and
well adaptability to the environment. Nowadays, the world is facing the challenge
of resource shortage. The industrial plant oil is a renewable resource with great
potential. As an indispensable industrial raw material, its important value is highly
valued [6, 7].
