Thermal behavior of renewable diesel from sugar cane, biodiesel, fossil diesel and their blends
(2013-04-22)
Biofuels and their blends with fossil fuel are important energy resources, whose production and application have been largely increased internationally. This study focuses on the evaluation of the activation energy of the ...
Restless Waters: Fossil Fuel Emissions Conditioning a Reduction in Hydroelectric Resources in Chile
(IEEE, 2014)
Climate change may result in a significant reduction of hydroelectric resources, worrying countries that are heavily dependent on it like many in Central and South America, where most electricity demand is met through ...
Evaluation of the potential feedstock for biojet fuel production: Focus in the Brazilian context
(2022-01-01)
The Brazilian aviation sector aiming to reduce its greenhouse emissions up to 37% by 2030 and up to 43% by 2050 (compared to 2005) using alternative fuels. For this reason, the evaluation of potential feedstock was made ...
Nanoparticles in fossil and mineral fuel sectors and their impact on environment and human health: A review and perspective
(ElsevierNL, 2021)
Nanoscience and technology have enabled better insights into the environmental and health impacts arising from the mining, production and use of fossil and mineral fuels. Here we provide an overview of the nanoscience-based ...
Investment in renewable energy, fossil fuel prices and policy implications for Latin America and the Caribbean
(ECLAC, 2017-05)
This paper examines if recent sharp declines in the price of oil and other fossil fuels will discourage private investment in renewable energy, which is key for climate change mitigation. The increase in private renewables ...

A delicate balance in South America
(2008)
This article deals with the challenges of balancing the need for hydroelectricity with the impact on the environment. Economic efficiency, energy security, and environmental sustainability are concerns that must be considered ...
Energy subsidies, public investment and endogenous growth
(ElsevierGB, 2017)
We consider impacts of fossil fuel subsidy reforms on economic growth, focusing mostly on the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) countries. The main empirical result is that a country that initially subsidizes its fossil ...
