  1. International District Energy Association | June 2019 Case studies converting existing boilers to liquid biofuels to meet sustainability goals by Dan Wallace, PE

  2. 2019 Case Studies Converting Boilers to Liquid Biofuels Motivation Liquid Biofuel Solutions Case Studies

  3. Central Plant GHG Emissions Reduction Many Facilities are looking to reduce fuel usage and benefit from the positive PR of also reducing emissions. American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) Concern for the effects of Carbon Emissions has never been higher. Ïı Ï

  4. Central Plant GHG Emissions Reduction Options Increase efficiency of existing operations (high efficiency burners, modern controls and/or VFDs) Convert from oil or gas to a biogenic fuel like landfill gas or digester gas. Convert from oil or gas to a biogenic fuel like wood waste. Other options are available - convert to biogenic renewable liquid fuels.

  5. Typical GHG “life cycle“ GHG Factors for Combustion

  6. Liquid Biofuel Options RFOTM BROTM Others Produced by Ensyn Fuels Produced by Renewable Energy Group Typically priced lower than Natural Gas and other fossil fuels. Requires higher capital cost for equipment retrofit than other liquid fuels. Typically competitively priced with liquid fossils fuels such as #2 and #6 oil. Requires relatively low to no equipment modifications to burn. B100, B20, etc…
