Background 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 What is biodiesel?
3
Biodiesel potential Abundant Eco-friendly, Politically popular Government mandates 7.5 billion gallons by 2012 (~2%) 10% of fuel supply by 2020 5% of fuel supply by 2013 Numerous countries mandate biodiesel Government Mandates of Biodiesel & Biofuels Kyoto treaty Fuel security Agriculture sector Tax incentives
4
Conventional Biodiesel Production Processes Alkaline-based catalyst (Sodium methylate), or + + Oil triglycerides Methanol Biodiesel Glycerol + + Free fatty acidsMethanol Biodiesel Water Acid-based catalyst (Sulfuric acid)
5
Blending/ Heating Glycerol by- product BiodieselWastewater Oil Methanol Neutralization/ Centrifugation Neutralization/ Chemical
6
High quality of the feedstock High energy consumption Corrosive Producing high amounts of wastewater Not Friendly to the Environment Drawbacks of Existing Technologies
7
TransBiodiesel’s Mission Statement Introducing a GAME-CHANGING, environmentally-benign, and cost-effective enzyme technology for the biodiesel industry
8
TransBiodiesel Proposed Technology + Enzyme -based catalysts ??? + + + Free Fatty AcidsMethanolBiodiesel Water Oil triglycerides Methanol Biodiesel Glycerol
9
Our Solution Cost Effective Enzyme Catalysts Modified lipase enzyme No deactivation in methanol 150 – 200 cycles price competitive with chemical catalyst Enzymes can convert oil of any quality An environmentally friendly and economically viable enzyme catalyst for the mass production of biodiesel.
