Abstract

Zbog povećanja broja stanovništva, povećala se i potreba za korištenjem fosilnih goriva. Izgaranje fosilnih goriva uzrokuje povećanje koncentracije CO2 u atmosferi, jednog od stakleničkih plinova koji imaju negativan utjecaj na okoliš. Stoga se čovječanstvo sve više okreće novim aletrnativnim biogorivima. Novija otkrića u proizvodnji biodizela, uključujući proizvodnju biodizela iz lipida mikroalgi, transesterifikacijom pomoću katalizatora ili u superkritičnim uvjetima, čine biodizel obećavajućim biogorivom i zamjenom za fosilna goriva. U radu su opisane prednosti, razlike i rizici u korištenju novih tehnologija tijekom cijelog životnog ciklusa proizvodnje i potrošnje biodizela.

Abstract (english)

Due to population growth, the demand for fossil fuels has also increased. The burning of fossil fuels leads to an increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, one of the greenhouse gases that have a negative impact on the environment. As a result, mankind is increasingly turning to new alternative biofuels. Recent discoveries in the field of biodiesel production, including the production of biodiesel from microalgal lipids, transesterification by catalysts or under supercritical conditions, make biodiesel a promising biofuel and a substitute for fossil fuels. The thesis describes the benefits, differences and risks of using new technologies throughout the life cycle of biodiesel production and consumption.
