Overview

Demonstrate how biological materials can be converted into renewable fuels and electrical energy through hands-on bioenergy experiments.

The BioFuel Ready-to-go kit (1703) from leXsolar is a portable biofuel training system that introduces students to bioenergy production, renewable fuels, and sustainable energy technologies. Designed for STEM, CTE, environmental science, chemistry, and renewable energy programs, the system provides interdisciplinary learning opportunities that connect biology, chemistry, physics, and energy technology.

Students can investigate the production of biofuels and explore how renewable fuels can be converted into electrical power using an included ethanol fuel cell. Housed in a portable aluminum case, the system includes all required equipment for classroom and laboratory activities, allowing learners to study the relationship between sustainable energy production and practical power generation.

Learning Outcomes

The biofuel science kits walk students through a four-phase experiment to create usable energy:

Part 1: Biodiesel Production

  • Transesterification from fat to Biodiesel (FAME)
  • Determination of fat parameters
  • Extraction of fats from foods and oil plants

Part 2: Alcohol fermentation

  • Production of a mash/ alcoholic fermentation
  • Fermentation of different sugar types (including catalytic splitting of starch)
  • Proof of fermentation gases

Part 3: Distillation and production of Bioethanol

  • Distillation of mash
  • Characteristics of the produced Ethanol

Part 4: Ethanol fuels

  • Introduction Ethanol fuel cell
  • I-V curve of Ethanol fuel cells
  • Dependency of Ethanol fuel cells on concentration and temperature
  • Energy balance of the whole process
