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

Biofuel Science Kit Details

The biofuel science kits come in two size options: large and ready-to-go. Each kit comes with everything you need to carry out the experiments.
