Biomass to Biodiesel (A Sundiesel initiative) PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator

Before I begin let us revise some common terms again.

Biomass: refers to living and recently dead biological material that can be used as fuel or for industrial production. Most commonly, biomass refers to plant matter grown to generate electricity or produce biofuel, but it also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibers, chemicals or heat. Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel. It excludes organic material which has been transformed by geological processes into substances such as coal or petroleum.

Let us begin. Credit to Choren Industries GmbH for the informations that they provide in the offical website of the company. What I like about Germans is their willingness to share knowledge and infromation that they possesed for the sake of the humanity.

Choren is the pioneer and lead market player of the state of the art Biomass to Biodiesel technology. The company had invented a technology that can convert Biomass to Biodiesel using the so call Carbo V Process.

The Carbo-V Process is a three-stage gasification process involving the following sub-processes:

  • low temperature gasification,
  • high temperature gasification and
  • endothermic entrained bed gasification.

Let us start the articles with short definition of lex fuel vehicles.

From wiki (as usual, its open source rite?)

Flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV) or dual-fuel vehicle (also sometimes called only flex-fuel) is an automobile that can typically use different sources of fuel, either mixed in the same tank or with separate tanks and fuel systems for each fuel.[1] A common example is a vehicle that can accept gasoline mixed with varying levels of bioethanol (gasohol). Some cars carry a natural gas tank making it possible switch back and forth from regular gasoline to natural gas.
