Abstract
Biodiesel can be processed by esterification or by
biomass-to-liquid (BTL) process. Neste Oil has developed
a BTL diesel component NExBTL utilizing a proprietary
conversion process for vegetable oils and animal fats.
NExBTL biodiesel properties are similar to the best
existing diesels such as GTL or Swedish Environmental
Class 1 fuels. NExBTL is sulfur-, oxygen-, nitrogen- and
aromatic free and has very high cetane number. Product
meets the requirements set by EN590 and WWFC category 4
except for density.
Cold properties (cloud point) of NExBTL can be adjusted
in the production from -5 ... -30°C to meet the needs of
various climatic conditions. Heating value is similar to
the EN590 hydrocarbon fuel, storage stability is good and
water solubility low. NExBTL biodiesel is compatible with
the existing vehicle fleet as well as diesel fuel
logistic system and is technically easy to blend in
conventional diesels in all ratios.
NExBTL in diesel blends decrease both regulated and
unregulated exhaust emission components. Decrease in
emissions is dependent on the proportion of NExBTL.
NExBTL blends do not have an impact on fuel consumption.
