Renewable Diesel

Renewable Diesel technology enables the production of diesel fuel from waste materials, such as used motor oil, fats, greases, waste vegetable oil, waste plastic materials (grocery bags, water bottles, etc.), and municipal solid waste (MSW).  The commercial potential for this exciting technology is based on the urgent need to address these large and rapidly growing environmental problems, and to provide a new source of new, clean diesel fuels (sulfur content of 15ppm or lower) for cars, trucks, jets, heavy construction equipment, and marine engines at stable, competitive market price levels.

EcoTec Fuels, an ADP business partner, develops state-of-the-art, Renewable Diesel facilities which convert waste materials into clean diesel fuel.  EcoTec's technology, Catalytic Fractionated Conversion (CFC), is a "pressure-less" process to depolymerize these waste materials and produce renewable diesel fuel for cars and trucks, as well as Jet-A aviation fuel. 

A single 4-Unit CFC-500 Renewable Diesel facility is capable of producing up to 4.4 million gallons of diesel fuel per year, eliminating the need to import 127,000 barrels of crude oil.  With the establishment of 1,000 CFC refineries throughout the USA, capacity will be available to produce 4.4 billion gallons of diesel fuel, eliminating the need to import 127 million barrels of crude oil annually; 1.5% of the current annual consumption of crude oil in the USA.    

Renewable Diesel products include:

• Jet-A Diesel for airplanes
• Diesel #2 (ASTM-D978) for cars and trucks
• Diesel #3 and #4 for ships, heavy production equipment, and industrial diesel engines
• Home Heating Fuel (ASTM-D396)

Renewable Diesel technology offers the long-term potential to convert millions of gallons of used motor oils, biomass wastes, and MSW into diesel fuel and eliminate 5%+ of the annual crude oil imports into the USA.
