Description
Summary:(ProQuest: ... denotes formulae omitted.) INTRODUCTION According to the International Energy Agency (IEA, 2019), a global energy transition is underway from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. According to the 2019 TenYear Energy Plan, biodiesel consumption in Brazil will grow 94% by 2029. According to data from EPE (2019) more than 60% of the biodiesel produced in Brazil comes from soy, however, with the increase in the price of this commodity in the international market, producers have increasingly opted for the export of their grain, putting at risk the production of biodiesel. [...]researchers have sought to study a variety of potential molecules to produce new fuels or even improve existing ones, in order to develop vehiclecompatible fuel conversion technologies. For the performance test, the test tractor was attached to a load cell, wheelslip measurer, radar unit, data acquisition system and a prototype of a fuel consumption measurer, as described by Lopes (2006).
