(CHILE, 6/24/2017)
The first Chilean tests of microalgae biodiesel in high-powered diesel engines show that a reduction of gases emissions and particulate matter of up to 80 per cent can be achieved in engines like those used by Trans-Santiago buses and trucks.
The measurements were carried out within the framework of a research project of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Bioprocesses of the Catholic University (CU) together with experts of Automotive Mechanics of the Duoc UC and a group of thesis developers of the Laboratory of Renewable Energies and Residues of the UC Engineering School.
"Some species of microalgae can accumulate a large amount of oils, whose origin is the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. These can be used to produce biodies...
