Researchers in Sweden and Spain have devised a three-step process for the conversion of precipitated kraft lignin from black liquor into green diesel. The esterified lignin residue is then coprocessed with light gas oil in a continous hydrotreater to produce a green diesel. Their paper appears in the journal ChemSusChem. Löfstedt, J.,

The researchers found that biodiesel has many advantages over regular diesel even in a very low blend percentage, including low emissions of particulate matter, combustion elements (mainly sulfur), elemental carbon, and carbon monoxide. Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) was used as base fuel. Biodiesel may produce high NO x emissions.
