The Matilda
- 1.
- 2. Spinning Wheel Energy,Inc. “The Matilda” (a biodiesel plant) To be constructed in Puerto Rico, USA
- 3.
- 4. Biodiesel Defined • Biodiesel,n.- a fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B-100 and meeting the requirements of ASTM D 6751. • Biodiesel blend, n.- a blend of biodiesel fuel meeting ASTM D 6751 with petroleum-based diesel fuel designated BXX where XX is the volume percent of Biodiesel.
- 5. Biodiesel Raw Materials •Oil and Fat – Sunflower – Beef tallow – Pork lard – Used Cooking oils – Soybean – Corn – Canola – Cottonseed Alcohol Methanol Ethanol Catalyst Sodium hydroxide Potassium hydroxide
- 6. The Biodiesel Reaction Yields •Biodiesel • (100 lbs.) • + • Glycerin • (10 lbs.)
- 7. Biodiesel Physical Properties •High Cetane (>50 vs. 42) • Flash Point (260° F vs. 150° F) • Virtually Zero Sulfur • Meets 2006 ULSD rule • No Aromatic Content • Superior Lubricity • Integrates into existing petroleum infrastructure
- 8. B5 Performance Properties •Performance to B5 has Similar • Petrodiesel: • Torque • Horsepower • Mileage • Range • BTU Content
- 9. Environmental Attributes • EnergyBalance - for every one unit of energy needed to produce biodiesel, 3.2 units of energy are gained. • Biodegradable and Non-Toxic - Tests sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture confirm that biodiesel is safer than diesel and biodegrades as fast as dextrose, a test sugar. • Greenhouse Gases – A 78% life cycle decrease in CO2 according to a USDA and DOE study.
- 10. Cleaner Emissions • EmissionType B100 B20 B2 • Total Unburned Hydrocarbons - 67% - 20% -2.2% • Carbon Monoxide -48% -12% -1.3% • Particulate Matter -47% -12% -1.3% • Oxides of Nitrogen 10% 2% 2%
- 11. Biodiesel Health Properties •Reduces particulate emissions • Reduces targeted compounds thought to cause cancer: PAH, n PAH • Biodiesel blends did not generate any unexpected new hydrocarbon species • Significantly reduces the mutagen city of exhaust in both the gaseous and particulate phases
- 12. Enhanced Lubricity • Equipmentbenefits • Superior lubricity • B2 has up to 66% more lubricity than #2 Diesel
- 13. Goals • To builda biodiesel plant. • Serve as a reference tool for key considerations and important questions ask and answer. • Provide an overview of the biodiesel plant development process.
- 14. Key Considerations • BiodieselDemand • Legislation and Regulatory Issues • Feedstock Supply • Distribution • Industry Capacity and Competition • Technology Selection
- 15.
- 16.
- 17. How is Biodieselbeing Used? • As a neat fuel (B100) • As a blending stock with petrodiesel (B20) • Alternative fuel providers • Emissions Reductions • In low levels with petrodiesel (B2) • Lubricity and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel • Agriculture supporting its own product
- 18. On-Highway Market • Marketfor diesel 6.5 MBbls. • B20 in all on-highway diesel would require over 48 million gallons of B100 annually • Extremely Cost Sensitive • Market Needs • Education • Infrastructure • Incentives
- 19.
- 20. Biodiesel Tax Incentives •Duty free importation of Equipment and supplies • Enables biodiesel blends to be marketed more competitive to diesel fuel • No value added tax on products • B100 sales; no income tax • Expires 2020 • Implied investment risk
- 21. How will itaffect price? • Reduction sales price to consumer by the VAT amount. • Reduction in the cost of standby power.
- 22.
- 23. Key Feedstock Issues •Availability and Cost of Feedstock • Multiple Feedstock Opportunities • Quality and Consistency of Feedstock • Preparation for Meeting New ASTM Standards
- 24. Fats & OilsProduction
- 25. Biodiesel: Looking Forward •Current Potential: 1.4 Million gal/year • At Two Years : 10.2 Million gal/year • At Four Years : 48 Million gal/year
