Technology
New Generation Biofuels has commercialized a patent-pending process to economically produce a renewable biofuel that can be used as a replacement for diesel, #2 heating oil, kerosene and other fuel oils;
The process consists of a simple, precise, additive blending process in an emulsion to manage the properties of plant oil at the point of combustion.
Key Technology Advantages
- Simpler production process which substantially lowers capital and production costs more than most biofuels
- NGBF’s biofuel is an emulsion of plant oil or animal fat feedstocks, water and proprietary additives
- No blending required with other fuels, simply use 100% NGBF biofuel
- Pour point <0 degrees F
- Stable Emulsion with no separation
- Stability evident in tests performed over a two year period
- Small plant footprint
- NGBF’s facilities can be situated on sites as small as 5,000 sq. ft.
- Location can leverage existing storage and transportation infrastructure
- Emulsion process affords feedstock flexibility:
- Fuel can be produced from a wide variety of commercially available plant oils and animal fats
- Exciting new feedstock’s on the horizon (such as jatropha and algae oils) will also be compatible with our technology
- No significant by-products, wastes, emissions or discharges, so “Btu yield” is greater
