Renewable diesel is a liquid transportation fuel derived from biomass, making it more sustainable than standard fossil fuels. It differs from biodiesel in chemical composition, properties and processing route. Renewable diesel is produced through hydroprocessing and subsequent distillation using a fractional distillation process similar to that used for petroleum refining. This produces a fuel with a high cetane number, meaning it performs well in engines and can be a drop-in replacement for fossil-based diesel.

Biorefining of Renewable Diesel begins with an introduction to the need for, and potential of, renewable diesel before looking at processes for 2nd and 3rd generation renewable diesel as well as production from waste feedstocks. It includes discussion of integrating renewable diesel biorefineries with existing petrol refineries, life cycle analysis of renewable diesel biorefineries and a perspective on the future of renewable diesel. This book is a valuable resource for any transportation fuel professionals interested in sustainability solutions.
