As energetics serve the sustainability, or emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of energetics by microwave assisted biodiesel production

Abstract

Impact of energy sector on the climate change and creating the conditions for energy independence are serious challenges for society. His Holiness Pope Francis proclaims: “I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth and not ruled by it!” Every step is top priority and welcomed for society that aims to encourage the security of energy-supply and to form a viable social model in sustainable way. That is why the energy is a key element for development in the European Union, so it is needed to research cost-effective producing ways of potential energy sources taking into consideration the energy and environmental aspects, as well as the sustainable requirements. This paper attempts to overview and emphasize the common role of adaptable agriculture and research (which results in technological developments) in an innovation driven economy through the microwave assisted biodiesel production. In biodiesel producing technology during the transesterification process the application of the microwave energy transfer and its effects better efficiency. So we can contribute to realize the objectives of “Societal Challenges” topic area (such as making the local resources and the energy consumption models more sustainable, widespread utilization of energy-efficient technological developments etc.) of Horizon 2020 the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
