Description
Renewable diesel is derived from fatty acid methyl esters and hydrogenated derivatives, serving as a substitute for 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 facility construction is not included within the dataset boundary. The life cycle inventory is sourced from literature. The production process of renewable diesel from waste edible oil involves filtration and pretreatment, hydrotreating, isomerization, and fractionation, where impurities and water in the oil are separated by heating followed by sedimentation.
Activity Description
The process of producing renewable diesel from waste cooking oil involves processing methods such as filtration and pretreatment, hydroprocessing, isomerization, and distillation, among which impurities and water in the oil are separated by heating followed by sedimentation.
Process Description
Renewable diesel is derived from fatty acid methyl esters and hydrogenated derivatives, fully refined and cracked using petroleum refining technologies, enabling it to completely replace petroleum-based diesel. This dataset focuses on the process of collecting, treating, and processing waste cooking oil into renewable diesel.
