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. If the energy of the remaining char and NCG is added to that in the product diesel oil, the total recovered energy is estimated to be 50% of the initial energy content of the biomass. barrels of diesel oil.
