Technological Advancements in the Production of Green Diesel from Biomass

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Diesel: An Alternative to Biodiesel and Petrodiesel

Part of the book series: Advances in Sustainability Science and Technology ((ASST))

Abstract

Diesel-range hydrocarbons derived from biomass have similar chemical compositions and physicochemical properties with petroleum-derived diesel, known as green diesel. Green diesel also meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification ASTM D975. Green diesel is thus compatible with existing petroleum pipelines, storage tanks, fueling stations, and diesel engines. Currently, green diesel is produced from non-edible tree-borne oils and lignocellulose biomass. Hydroprocessing of oils and fats, biomass-to-liquid, and a combination of fast pyrolysis and hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oil, are some of the thermochemical processes used to produce green diesel. While commercial technologies are available for producing green diesel from oils and fats, these technologies are suffering from the challenges of the dearth and high cost of feedstock. On the contrary, lignocellulosic biomass is abundant and inexpensive. However, the technologies for converting lignocellulosic biomass to green diesel are in the develo** stage. This chapter presents the existing and upcoming hydropyrolysis technologies for converting lignocellulosic biomass to green diesel.
