MADRID, 4 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Chinese scientists have developed a new technology that allows producing biodiesel fuel with higher biomass content, more than 40% compared to the world average of less than 10%.
Shen Jian, a professor at the School of Chemistry and Materials Science at Nanjing Normal University, and his team improved the production process, using biofats (triglycerides) and crude oil refinery components to produce biodiesel fuel for automobiles without transesterification.
The higher the biomass content of biodiesel, the more prominent its energy-saving and carbon-reducing effects are, the team said.
By partially replacing petroleum with biofats, the technology favors a more environmentally friendly biodiesel fuel that improves emissions standards, while contributing to containing the global carbon peak and achieving carbon neutrality, Shen said, cited by Xinhua.
The results produced by a local quality supervision and inspection agency showed that this biodiesel fuel meets local standards for automotive biodiesel fuel and has particularly good characteristics of oxidative stability, corrosion resistance, lubricity and environmental protection.
The research team, in cooperation with other companies, has created an industrial production unit with an annual production capacity of two million tons of this biodiesel fuelwith the aim of accelerating the practical application of its technical achievements.
