TransBiodiesel Ltd. • Contact person: • Dr. Sobhi Basheer, CEO • E-mail: sbsheer@transbiodiesel.com • Tel: +972-4-9504523 • Mobile: +972-54-5324225 www.transbiodiesel.com July, 2011
Background What is biodiesel? • Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from vegetable oils and animal fats • Biodiesel is a clean-burning fuel for diesel engines • Designated B100 in its pure form • Must meet the quality requirements of ASTM D6751
Biodiesel potential Kyoto treaty Fuel security Agriculture sector Tax incentives • Abundant • Eco-friendly, • Politically popular • Government mandates 10% of fuel supply by 2020 Numerous countries mandate biodiesel 7.5 billion gallons by 2012 (~2%) 5% of fuel supply by 2013 Government Mandates of Biodiesel & Biofuels
Conventional Biodiesel Production Processes Oil triglycerides Methanol Biodiesel Glycerol + + • Alkaline-based catalyst (Sodium methylate), or Acid-based catalyst (Sulfuric acid) + + Free fatty acids Methanol Biodiesel Water
Neutralization/ Centrifugation Neutralization/ Chemical Glycerol by-product Biodiesel Wastewater Methanol Oil Blending/Heating
Drawbacks of Existing Technologies • High quality of the feedstock • High energy consumption • Corrosive • Producing high amounts of wastewater • Not Friendly to the Environment
