Study explores energy balance of Fischer-Tropsch diesel via autothermal reforming of pyrolysis oil from biomass residue; spreadsheet offered as tool

Green Car Congress

The estimated energy efficiencies computed with the spreadsheet are comparable to those obtained with Aspen software. For the model considered, trucking biomass to a central facility without first converting it to PO is estimated to reduce energy efficiency by 1%. Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis of the syngas into diesel fuel.
