  1. Implementing Biofuels Programme in the PhilippinesMario C. MarasiganDirectorEnergy Utilization Management BureauDepartment of Energy

  2. Alternative Fuels Program Coco-methyl Ester (CME) or Coco-Biodiesel Ethanol Jatropha Curcas “Tuba Tuba” or “Tubang Bakod” To achieve energy independence and fuel diversification while meeting environmental challenges through the utilization of alternative fuels Others (autogas, hybrid, EV) Natural Gas

  3. ENERGY SUPPLY AND DEMAND

  4. POTENTIAL FUEL DISPLACEMENT • Coco-Methyl Ester (CME) or “Coco-Biodiesel” • Bioethanol

  5. COCO-BIODIESEL PROGRAM WHY COCO-BIODIESEL? • Economic benefits to the coconut industry • Provide and establish long-term sustainable alternative domestic market • Increased income for 3.5 million coconut farmers • Potential improvement in the income of 25 million Filipinos dependent on the coconut industry • Economic benefits to the country • Enhance energy independence • Indigenous renewable resource • Reduction in diesel fuel importation • Forex savings

  6. FACTSABOUTCOCO-BIODIESEL Fact 1: Fossil diesel is made up of non-polar compound molecules of hydrogen and carbon better known as hydrocarbon. Biodiesel is made up of polar compound molecules of hydrogen and carbon, plus oxygen. It is classified as oxygenated fuel. Fact 2: Hydrocarbons have chemical energy (heat) value ranging from 18,000 BTU/lb to 22,000 BTU/lb. Coco-Biodiesel has slightly lower heat value than kerosene. Fact 3: Age of engine, poor maintenance, and imperfect fuel quality put together result in wasted energy estimated to range from 10% - 30% (or even more) depending on engine condition. With diesel currently costing P32.7 per liter, wasted amount is P3.27 to P9.81 per liter of fuel used.

  7. FACTSABOUTCOCO-BIODIESEL Fact 4: Black and white smoke emission are incompletely burned and unburned hydrocarbon representing such wasted energy (or wasted money) and are products of poor combustion. Coco-Biodiesel promotes efficient combustion to transform the wasted energy to useful energy – added mileage. Fact 5: There is absolutely nothing a motorist can do to reduce fuel cost in Peso/liter. But there are many things a motorist can do to reduce fuel cost in Peso/kilometer. Fact 6: Any and all efforts to “improve” combustion “reduces” emission and “increases” mileage. These are direct relationship.

  8. FACTSABOUTCOCO-BIODIESEL Fact 7: Coco-Biodiesel has similar hydrocarbon structure as diesel except that it has lower T90 temperature and its molecular structure is less clustered. Thus, it is superior if used as diesel fuel. However, it also contains features not present in fossil diesel such as 11% oxygen, high solvency, high lubricity, and excellent polarity. For this reason, it also serves as as effective diesel quality enhancer. A 1% blend is substantial enough to attain clean burning.

  9. OIL & ESTERS CHARACTERISTICS Higher Iodine Value means lower temperature to solidify. Higher Cetane Number indicates a more efficient fuel.

  10. CARBON CHAIN PROFILE (Source : Asian Institute of Petroleum Studies) • CME and Palm Kernel Esters are the only vegetable derived esters (VDE) that contain a full range of C8 to C18. The presence of lighter hydrocarbon atoms give better range of volatility than other VDEs thus better combustibility. It produces better combustibility since it volatilizes even better than diesel.

  11. TECHNICAL DATA: CMEVS. DIESEL

  12. EMISSION REDUCTION AT 1% CME Blend

  13. COST EFFECTS • At 1% blend, additional cost of biodiesel is 2-3% over petroleum diesel. Price of Diesel: P 34 per liter Price of CME: P 86.00 – 130.00 per liter At 1% CME blend, cost of CME-Diesel fuel:

  14. Fuel Economy • Studies shows, there is an average increase of fuel mileage at 1.5 km per liter of 1% CME-Diesel Blend. • A car that travels 2,600 km per month (or 100 km/day for 26 days a month), with a fuel economy of 8 km/liter when using diesel, will have a monthly fuel savings of: • Annual Savings of P 18,506 per vehicle

  15. TECHNICAL VALIDATION • A USDOE/USAID-commissioned NREL Tests were conducted to address the concerns of oil companies and car manufacturers: • Biodiesel quality specification (to determine compliance of CME samples with PNS) • Oxidation stability (to determine how long CME can be safely stored and its behavior under extreme conditions) • Thermal stability (to determine if CME quality changes on various storage conditions) • Microbial growth (to determine microbial growth in CME samples considering microbes cause corrosion in the fuel system and premature filter plugging) • Method for determining biodiesel content in blended fuels

  16. NREL Test Results
