Biomass Oil
Overview
Biorefinery technology can improve the income of
firms that produce energy products combined with biobased coproducts. They do
this by producing a variety of high value products in addition to the typically
low value fuels. The biomass feedstocks evaluated in this report are lipids
from animal fats, fish and poultry oils, plant oils, and recycled cooking
greases. Higher rates of return attract investors and lead to expanded
capacity. Profits generated by the biobased fuels may encourage more investment,
more facilities, and eventually a larger biofuel supply. Thus, biomass
biorefineries need biobased coproducts to succeed in the fuels industry.
In this course the student will learn about
biomass oils and distillate fuel use opportunities, production, composition,
supply and biorefinery methods. The student will learn of the business
advantages of using alternate fuels such as biomass fuels to improve the bottom
line.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained
in Biomass Oil Analysis: Research Needs and Recommendations, NREL – Contract
No. DE-AC36-99-GO10337, June 2004 – NREL/TP-510-34796
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of
forty (40) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
