#Biodiesel is the need of the hour, as it offers several significant advantages over traditional fossil fuels on the reduction of pollution. To utilize the bio-diesel, quality of the produced biodiesel is a key parameter to monitor. To monitor and control the biodiesel there are several standard methods available worldwide which uses Gas chromatography (GC) as a versatile tool. GC allows for the separation, identification, and quantification of various compounds present in bio-diesel samples.

I've been monetizing CO2 for a long time - mostly indirectly, via performance/efficiency/reliability gains, as well as energy and water reduction projects in my petrochemical clients' facilities. In order to monetize something, you need to be able to certify - whether it's through empirical measurement or some kind of scheme (which is usually based on a benchmark empirical measurement carried out with some frequency). Fuel has been a borderline commodity market for a long time - the end user gets a seamless experience that what they're putting in their engine meets a minimum specification overseen by global/national class societies (ASTM etc). The main difference between the various brands is usually what cocktail of additives (key products from my previous employers) are blended to that baseline product to keep their customer base coming back for more. Generally speaking for the average consumer, 10-15% difference in engine efficiency isn't worth a 6-15p/liter price increase... but for specialty vehicles and fleet managers, those performance boosts certainly add up proportionate to the mileage covered. As we move to renewable fuel sources, customers are no longer just looking at the performance impact of what they're buying - they're also actively factoring in the CO2 footprint of their energy sources. To maintain integrity and trust with the public, fuel vendors need to be vigilant that what they're selling is actually what's on the label. I'm having a lot of fun digging into the issue of provenance at it pertains to the CO2 footprint of fuel sources- this is something HutanBio will have to make decisions on as we scale up operations and work with bunkering companies.

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐝? Only if we can verify its legitimacy. In recent years, the shipping sector has increasingly turned to liquid biofuels, especially those made from Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), to reduce emissions. 🌱🚢 When used cooking oil is the feedstock, the FAME product is called Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester, or UCOME. UCOME is one of the FAME products that meets IMO's requirement of having a well-to-wake GHG emissions reduction of at least 65% compared to fossil Marine Gas Oil. ♻️ However, there's a growing concern about the legitimacy of UCOME due to a surge in "mislabeled" products in the market. ⚠️ The European biodiesel industry and the US biofuels sector have raised concerns about the origin of UCOME imports from China. Labelled as made with recycled oils and fats, the surging volumes of UCOME imports are suspected to be produced from cheaper and less sustainable virgin oils. While existing international certification schemes play a crucial role in certifying various FAME products, their primary reliance on retrospective audits may limit their ability to prevent fraudulent practices, especially in real-time detection of fraud. 🔍 To address this industry challenge, GCMD, in collaboration with VPS, has developed a technique to identify FAME's origin through its unique chemical fingerprint. FAME fingerprinting is based on the principle that the fatty acid profile of FAME is unique to its feedstock and can be preserved during feedstock transesterification to produce FAME. The "fingerprint" can then be compared against a database of known fatty acid profiles to identify the feedstock origin. This technique can improve transparency when tracing the origin and presence of FAME in marine fuels supply chains. Our fingerprinting report will be ready soon and will cover the following: ➡️ What is a FAME fingerprint? ➡️ Fingerprinting FAME in residual marine fuels ➡️ Forensic analysis of FAME's origin ➡️ Methodology to acquire FAME fingerprints Follow us now to be among the first to receive this report! 🔔 https://lnkd.in/gyjb75qb #GCMDUpdates

#Compressed_Bio_Gas from #Press_Mud_/#Filter_Cake Press mud, also known as filter cake, is a by-product of the sugarcane industry. It is the residual material left after the clarification of cane juice. Its composition can vary depending on the processing methods and the type of sugarcane used, but typically, it includes: Moisture: 60-80% Organic Matter: 15-25% Calcium: 2-4% Phosphorus: 1-3% Nitrogen: 0.5-2% Potassium: 0.5-1% Magnesium: 0.5-1% Micronutrients: Trace amounts of iron, zinc, copper, and manganese Fibrous Material: Cellulose and lignin The presence of organic matter and nutrients makes press mud a valuable material for agricultural use, particularly as a soil conditioner and organic fertilizer. Compressed Biogas (CBG) Production from Press Mud: CBG production from press mud involves anaerobic digestion, a biological process where microorganisms break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen to produce biogas. The main steps include: Pre-treatment: Press mud is prepared by reducing its particle size and sometimes adding water to achieve the desired consistency. Anaerobic Digestion: The prepared press mud is fed into an anaerobic digester, where it is decomposed by bacteria. This process generates biogas, primarily composed of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Biogas Purification: The raw biogas is purified to remove impurities and increase the methane content, making it suitable for use as compressed biogas. Compression and Storage: The purified biogas is compressed and stored in high-pressure cylinders for transportation and use. The resulting biogas can be used as a renewable energy source for cooking, electricity generation, and as a vehicle fuel, contributing to sustainable waste management and energy production.

The eco-friendliness of these lubricants is gauged by their ability to degrade, which indicates their environmental persistence. Traditionally, machines rely on greases and oils derived from fossil fuels, but the modern alternative of bio-lubricants utilizes plant and vegetable oils, offering a more sustainable choice. These bio-lubricants are produced through processes such as pyrolysis, which involves heating biomass feedstock without oxygen, or through partial combustion of the feedstock in a low-oxygen setting to yield an oil-like liquid. Further refinement of the resulting bio-crude oil enables the production of various bio-lubricants and oil-based products. The Bio-Lubricant Market is forecasted to grow significantly, with an expected notable Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.9% by 2032. This growth is driven by increasing chemical usage in manufacturing and transportation sectors, heightened environmental awareness and regulations, and growing industry adoption of bio-based lubricants. These factors collectively propel the expansion of the bio-lubricants market, positioning bio-based lubricants as pivotal in sustainable industrial practices for the foreseeable future. ➡️𝐁𝐲 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞: Hydraulic Fluids, Metalworking Fluids, Gear Oils, Greases, Process Oils, Compressor Oils, Transmission Fluids, Others ➡️𝐁𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐰 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥: Vegetable Oils, Animal fat, Others ➡️𝐁𝐲 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐬𝐞: Automotive Bio Lubricants, Marine Bio Lubricants, Aviation Bio Lubricants, Mining Bio Lubricants ➡️𝗕𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East & Africa ➡️ 𝗕𝘆 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀: TotalEnergies, bp, ExxonMobil, Repsol, PANOLIN, FUCHS Group, Axel Christiernsson International AB, BECHEM, Cortec Corporation, Environmental Lubricants Manufacturing, Inc., Klüber Lubrication, Novvi, LLC, Emery Oleochemicals #BioLubricants #EcoFriendlyLubricants #SustainableChemistry #GreenTechnology #RenewableEnergy #BiodegradableLubricants #EnvironmentallyFriendly #GreenProducts #BioBasedMaterials #CleanTechnology #CircularEconomy #GreenChemistry #ClimateAction #ZeroWaste #Biorefinery #CarbonFootprint #NaturalResources #GreenInnovation #LowCarbonEconomy #FutureOfIndustry

🍁 (7) Canada Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) Update — Land Use and Biodiversity Criteria with respect to Used Cooking Oil feedstock (UCO) This afternoon, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) posted an emphasis on UCO feedstock (specifically subsection 46(1)). The main items are: 🔊 Fuel producers must demonstrate that the UCO feedstock they are sourcing is of Type 2, thereby proving with a reasonable level of assurance that it is a waste product from an upstream processing operation. 🔔 (WL: According to CFR LUB criteria, Type 1 is non-biomass feedstock, Type 2 is residue and waste-based material, and Type 3 is agricultural or forest biomass materials. This emphasizes that the UCO must be a waste bio-source.) 🔊 Fuel producers must ensure that collection points retain records of contracts, delivery records, invoices, etc., detailing where the UCO was sourced from. 🔔(WL: Producers should maintain the UCO purchase records. This requirement is similar to the USEPA RFS 80.1454 and California LCFS 95488.8.) 🔊 It is not required for the low-CI producer to determine the specific composition of the originating material that the UCO mix is derived from (e.g., palm, corn, canola, etc.). 🔔(WL: This is nothing new; regulators do not concern themselves with the specific components of the UCO.) What lies behind these pieces showcases the stringent chain of custody of UCO feedstock and the concerns about UCO fraud from a regulatory perspective. UCO is a highly favorable low-carbon feedstock for producing low-carbon intensity fuels such as biodiesel and hydrotreated esters & fatty acids (HEFA), including renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and renewable naphtha. However, due to its numerous origin sources and an extensive supply chain, compliance becomes very complicated. In a nutshell, producers using UCO to produce low-carbon fuel must provide sufficient evidence and documentation to ensure regulators and verifiers can be assured of its authenticity. #LCFS #CFR #RFS #usdcookingoil #biofuels #alternativefuels #SAF #regualtorycompliance #California #Canada #lowcarbon #feedstocks #LCA #Sustainability #Sustainable #Biofuels #UCO
