Description
Renewable diesel is derived from fatty acid methyl esters and hydrogenation processes, serving as a substitute for petroleum-based diesel. This dataset includes key raw materials, energy inputs, and atmospheric emissions from the production process; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is excluded from the system boundary. The life cycle inventory data are sourced from literature. The production process of renewable diesel from animal fats includes pretreatment, separation and refining, catalyst regeneration, and quality testing, with meat and bone meal being a byproduct of this process.
Activity Description
The process of producing renewable diesel from animal fats includes steps such as pretreatment, separation and refining, catalyst regeneration, and testing.
Process Description
