Shell: New Energy Plant Completes

2008-06-04    Source:english.chinabuses.com

The world’s first commercial production plant to convert biomass into synthetic diesel fuel completed and it will produce a high performance fuel called BTL from non-food biomass, such as forest residues and waste wood.  The use of these raw materials means that a litre of BTL will need less than a third of the land needed for a litre of rapeseed bio diesel. 

 

The fuel also promises to reduce CO2 production by up to 90% compared to conventional diesel and is compatible with standard diesel engines. The next important step will be starting production, which will be in 8-12 months.  The plant is designed to produce 18 million litres of fuel per year.
