Bio-Based Diesel Solutions Market Overview
Bio-Based Diesel Solutions – Sustainable fuels produced from plant oils, waste fats, and algae.
Bio-based diesel solutions encompass all liquid fuels derived from organic, renewable biological sources, primarily falling into two main categories: conventional biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters or FAME) and green diesel (Renewable Diesel or HVO). Green diesel is considered the superior, second-generation solution for high-volume use.
It is produced by hydrotreating natural oils and fats with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, removing oxygen and resulting in a pure, paraffinic hydrocarbon fuel. This process is key to its high quality—it boasts a high cetane number (often over 75) for efficient combustion and a very low cloud point, making it ideal for cold-weather operation where conventional biodiesel often faces gelling challenges.
The feedstock flexibility of bio-based diesel solutions is a major area of growth, with the industry aggressively moving to utilize waste products like used cooking oil (UCO) and inedible animal fats. The environmental benefit of this feedstock choice is twofold: it recycles waste and provides a pathway to achieve a lower carbon intensity score, fulfilling the dual mandate of waste reduction and emission reduction fuel technology.
