Description
Renewable diesel is derived from fatty acid methyl esters and hydrogenation processes and can substitute petroleum-based diesel. This dataset includes primary raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy inputs, and atmospheric emissions from the production process. By-products of the process include fuel gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and naphtha. Infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory data are sourced from literature. The process of producing renewable diesel from waste cooking oil involves methods such as filtration and pretreatment, hydrogenation, isomerization, and fractionation, among which moisture is removed by evaporation through high-temperature cooking to separate impurities and water from the oil.
