Feedstocks
Biofuels, derived from organic materials like animal and vegetable fats, energy crops and agricultural residues, offer a sustainable and climate-friendly alternative to fossil fuels while enhancing energy security.
Cat 1 & 2 Animal Fats
These animal fats are raw inputs for biofuel production, sourced from parts not fit for human consumption. Once collected and processed sustainably, they serve as valuable feedstocks. Animal fats are categorized into three types based on their quality.
Used Cooking Oil (UCO)
UCOs are oils that have been extensively used, typically in restaurants. When no longer suitable for cooking, they’re collected, processed, and transformed into biofuels—offering a sustainable solution to waste oil.
Crude Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME)
A major byproduct of the palm oil industry, POME is rich in oil content and can be converted to biodiesel via transesterification, turning waste into energy.
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD)
PFAD is a byproduct of refining palm oil, classified as a processing residue. Though once considered waste, it’s now a useful input for biofuel manufacturing.
Soapstocks
Derived during the extraction of edible oils, soapstocks are rich in vegetable oil residues. They’re used in biofuel production as both a feedstock and low-value refining byproduct.
Tall Oil
Sourced from the pulp and paper industry, tall oil is extracted from trees like pine, spruce, and birch. It yields 65–70% diesel fuel when refined from crude tall oil, with zero production waste.
Glycerin (Glycerol)
Produced as a byproduct in the FAME biodiesel process, glycerin (about 10% of crude output) is a valuable resource. It serves as a feedstock for biofuels and various bioconversion processes to create fuels and base chemicals.
Pomace
This is the pulpy residue left after pressing fruits like grapes, olives, or other fruits. Pomace is ideal for generating renewable energy and electricity, often undergoing hydrolysis or fermentation to become a green biofuel.
Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL)
CNSL is a waste output from cashew processing, recovered through solvent or thermal extraction. Its use in biofuel production helps mitigate improper waste disposal and supports sustainable energy practices.
Energetic Crops Oil
Also known as bioenergy crops, these are cultivated specifically for energy production. Chosen for high biomass or oil yield, they include crops like sugar, starch, or oil-rich varieties. They’re essential for second and third-generation biofuel technologies.
