Residual Lipids Towards Transportation Fuels: A Sustainability Approach

Short Introductive summary

This LCA study evaluated the environmental impacts of the examined production process targeting to kerosene and gasoline, as well. In particular, the inventories involve WCO pretreatment and upgrading via catalytic hydrotreatment under a well-to-wheel approach, integrating the whole process of fuels production and consumption. The results are preliminary, since data are being collected and processed but they are indicative of the favourable environmental profile of the investigated technological pathway. Furthermore, it is evident that processes utilizing residual biomass producing renewable fuels contribute towards the defossilization of the transportation sector.
