An analysis of the US refining sector, based on linear programming (LP) modeling, finds that refining plausibly high volumes of Canadian oil sands crudes in US refineries in 2025 would lead to a modest increase in refinery CO 2 emissions (ranging between 5.4% to 9.3%) from a 2010 baseline, depending upon the supply scenario.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently granted Ensyn Corporation ( earlier post ) Part 79 registration for its renewable diesel product, RFDiesel. FCC units are found in most refineries worldwide and are used to produce gasoline and diesel from vacuum gas oil (VGO). The RTP process is actually an analog to FCC.

RTP is a fast pyrolysis process in which biomass is introduced into a vessel and rapidly heated to 500 °C by a tornado of hot sand and then rapidly cooled within seconds. approx 75 wt%) of liquid bio-oil from residual forestry or agricultural biomass. The process generates a relatively high yield (i.e.,

The second NABC insertion point (insertion point 3 on the diagram) is where the biomass is processed to a point where it is acceptable as a neat fuel or as a blendstock component to be blended with existing petroleum-based gasoline or diesel.

It is reminiscent of the early 1900’s, when steam, electric, diesel, biomass, and gasoline power options competed on a level playing field for consumers’ attention. Several global indicators on the supply of oil and the known carbon pollution environmental damages its caused all lead us to find cleaner ways of transportation.
