What is presented in this video is: Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO). That is paraffin oils produced from fats including soy bean oil, corn oil, etc. by processing vegetable oils / fats with hydrogen (H2) and catalysts. Paraffin oils have got excellent technical properties. And that includes HVO. The old way to produce diesel fuel products from vegetable oils were to produce ”fatty acid methyl esters ” (FAME) by processing fats with methanol. Then you get a lot of glycerol as a by-product. There are many technical problems with FAME fuel.
HVO is chemically identical to petroleum diesel? Then why does it have such high cetane numbers? Why does it perform so superior? Why does it produce less Nox emissions? It is interesting that the Air Nazi's at CARB have no idea. You would think somebody would pose and answer these questions? Why is it, that biodiesel blended into the petroleum diesel actually lowers the quality of the diesel fuel? When HVO is blended into ULSD in any amount it improves the fuel quality? Who are the only two players that make any money from the sale of refined liquid petroleum fuels? Once you figure that out you should be able to also figure out that neither one of those players want to see improved fuel economy. Renewable diesel is only price competitive with petroleum because the Air Nazi's at CARB are subsidizing its cost with California taxpayer dollars. You folks at CCJ should do more homework before producing this 10 44. Your explanations are very poor.
The fundamental problem with Biofuels is they still create carbon dioxide when burnt.. Supporters say that this is offset by the fact that the crops used to produce the fuel absorb the same amount of co2 when growing. But that calculation only works if NOTHING organic is crown in the fields used to grow crops to be used for biofuel.. In reality, where organic matter can grow, it will do, whether farmed or not. Furthermore, you need a very large amount of organic matter to make it. It doesn't pollute our air as much but it will make very little difference to global co2 levels
All those sources you mention are not available now because the production network is NOT there. Biodiesel while perfectly acceptable for 9 months of the year has major gelling issues come winter across the snow belt. Pure biodiesel has been used at 100% in South America for decades because it's warm.
I love renewable diesel, give us more. My F450 is more green than your Prius!
