INVESTIGATING THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF BIODIESEL DISTRIBUTION IN INDONESIA by Herbert Wibert Victor Hasudungan, Elis Heviati, Sulthon Sjahril Sabaruddin, Sigit Hargiyanto

“…Based on primary data and information obtained from experts, we found that the most dominant factors that affect the shipping distribution cost are the size of the ship and its activities (such as voyage, ballast, loading, discharge, waiting, and buffer), whilst for the trucking mode, the dominant factors are both its corresponding operational costs and investment costs. Given that fuel prices fluctuate periodically, we also argue that the cost differences between the regulated and formulated reference may arise due to i) the data inaccuracy of the diesel fuel consumption and ii) specific terms outlined in the agreement between the corresponding transporters and suppliers. …”

Dairy Biomass-Wyoming Coal Blends Fixed Gasification Using Air-Steam for Partial Oxidation by Gerardo Gordillo, Kalyan Annamalai

“…Concentrated animal feeding operations such as dairies produce a large amount of manure, termed as dairy biomass (DB), which could serve as renewable feedstock for thermal gasification. DB is a low-quality fuel compared to fossil fuels, and hence the product gases have lower heat content; however, the quality of gases can be improved by blending with coals. …”
