Waste To Eco-Diesel

The project aimed to bridge the new diesel fuel manufacturing technology (KDV Katalytische Drucklose Verölung) by means of a small pilot/demonstration plant to further reach commercial level where municipal waste could be economically disposed and diesel fuel/kerosene gained simultaneously. The method utilised nearly all waste fractions with high hydrocarbon content as feedstock is obtained from plastic-, rubber- and oil waste. Agricultural-, forest logging- and wood industry residue also yield well. 1 ton dry municipal solid waste yields about 250 l diesel or kerosene.

 

 

Outcome and Impact:

Compared to incineration (or decaying), the KDV-plant will displace annually 12,463 tons of CO2. Using the whole production for power generation, about 4,700 MWh of power could be generated annually.
