Life cycle analysis finds Camelina-based renewable jet fuel reduces GHG emissions by 75%; renewable diesel reduces emissions by 80%

Green Car Congress

The study, published in the AIChE journal Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy , also found that renewable diesel made through the same process reduces GHG emissions by 80%. The reductions in GHG were lower than those returned in an earlier MTU study of camelina-based renewable jet and diesel in 2009, which found reductions of 84-89%.

Life Cycle Analysis of Camelina-based Renewable Jet and Diesel Fuels Shows 84-89% GHG Savings Compared to Petroleum Fuels

Green Car Congress

The study was based on camelina grown in Montana by Sustainable Oils and processed into renewable jet and diesel fuels using UOP hydroprocessing technology. Camelina green diesel (GD) shows a 89.4% GHG reduction compared to petroleum diesel. Biodiesel exhibits savings of GHGs compared to petroleum diesel of 78.5%.
