Abstract:

The production and use of biofuels have entered a new era of global growth, with both the scale of the industry and the number of countries involved reaching unprecedented levels. Investments in biofuels production are being driven by a variety of factors, that include the development of more efficient conversion technologies, the introduction of sound new government policies, growing international trade and of course, the rising price of oil, concern for future energy supplies and  climate change have led to growing interest in the use of biomass for energy purposes. Several studies have shown the potential for liquid biofuel production on the African continent.

Sudan has favorable growing conditions, and the availability of land, water and labor that may contribute considerably to the biofuel production potential.

Sudan government   defined the necessary to develop their own national biofuel strategy framework to guide biofuel investments and production in the country.

Sudan identified Barriers and risks   that may face the biofuel production and also identified many steps to develop its national strategy of biofuel to enhance the production of the biofuel at national level, Sudan prepared a pilot project to use it as a mode of learning by doing.

Case study undertaken as pilot project, National E10 Project which uses ethanol as a gasoline additive to increase octane number and reduce vehicle emissions. The first Sudanese pilot project, the joint venture project between Kenan Sugar (KSC) and Nile Petroleum Company. The project, which will mix gasoline with 10 per cent of ethanol, is located in Kennan premises at the White Nile State.

 

Biography:

Amir Hosein Esmaielpour has received his master's from the University of Semnan in Iran for industrial engineering at the age of 25, and he is currently a student of a Ph.D. in Kharazmi university in Iran. His master thesis was about the supply chain system for biodiesel produced from algae.

 

Abstract:

Today, with increasing the need for producing renewable, economical, and environmentally friendly fuels, the role of the supply chain system for biofuels has been studied more severe than before. One of the sources of biodiesel production is algae that nowadays has become one of the most important biomass conversion resources to biodiesel. In this study, the supply chain design issue is trying to implement the supply chain in areas where have the implementation capability and create algal production fields and the biodiesel production factory in Iran. The designed model has the location capability out of 20 candidate locations for production and sending biodiesel produced from microalgae in conditions of uncertainty and with three target functions. To deal with these conditions, the stochastic model has suggested with different scenarios. According to the results, the expense of production and sending each American barrel biodiesel unit is estimated at $ 8.56 and its environmental effects, about 16.95 Kg CO2 / GGE, and also about 1742 jobs have been created in production centers and sending the materials.
