Description
The production activities of this product are based on a weighted average of 'Biodiesel, made from animal fat', 'Biodiesel, after hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol, followed by alkali-catalyzed ester replacement', 'Biodiesel, sedimentation, waste edible oil', 'Biodiesel, high-temperature cooking, waste edible oil', and 'Biodiesel, vegetable oil'. If the specific production process for biodiesel cannot be clearly identified, this dataset may be used. For detailed technical descriptions, system boundaries, and other information, please refer to the respective biodiesel production datasets. Infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and facility construction are not included within the dataset boundaries.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product are based on a weighted average of the following biodiesel pathways: "biodiesel from animal fat", "biodiesel via hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol followed by base-catalyzed transesterification", "biodiesel from waste cooking oil with sedimentation", "biodiesel from waste cooking oil with high-temperature cooking", and "biodiesel from vegetable oil".
Process Description
Biodiesel refers to fatty acid methyl or ethyl esters produced through transesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats, waste oils, or microbial oils with methanol or ethanol. Biodiesel is a clean fuel that can replace conventional petroleum diesel.
