Hydroisomerisation of linear alkanes in the gasoline feed to their corresponding isomers is recently considered the most suitable petrol upgrading option, particularly due to environmental and economic concerns. Several catalysts have so far been reported to be associated with activity and stability challenges, the book therefore covers useful information based on most recent literature, on these catalysts and the prospects of metal(s) or sulp...

Biodiesel and other biofuels production is an important option required in Nigeria to mitigate the ongoing increased in primary energy need, greenhouse gases emissions, over dependence on oil and gas economy, high levels of urban and rural poverty and to ensure sustainable economy for rural development. This research compares the economic viability of biodiesel production from two Northern Nigerian feedstocks (groundnut and cotton seed oils) b...

Recent Issues in Environmental Science is a product of the authors' experience of teaching and research in relevant fields. Critical understanding of the importance of environmental protection as a driving force for sustainable international development instigated the book writing and publication by the authors. The topics were appropriately selected in line with international environmental planning to fit the demand of both current and future...

Biogas and Biodiesel is a book that reports all the key issues associated with the history, production science and technology and the economics of biogas and biodiesel at the global scale. The topics were appropriately selected based on critical survey of a wide range of both previous and most recent literatures. The book was harmonized to fit the demand of students, companies and policy makers. Researchers, especially those in science and tec...

Among the climate change mitigation options, carbon capture and storage had been identified to have good future potentials, particularly on the ground that, fossil fuels will remain the major global sources of energy in the medium term. The technology also offers the advantages of enhanced oil and/or gas recovery from partly depleted or low producing reservoirs, and improved methane production from coal deposits. Therefore its full understandi...
