German study shows rapeseed GHG potential
Source : biodieselmagazine.com
The German Biomass Research Center has conducted a study on optimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from rapeseed-based biodiesel. The goal of the study was to analyze the current default values for GHGs from rapeseed-based biodiesel, and to outline areas that would improve current GHG levels. Authored by Stefan Majer and Katja Oehmicen from the center, the study was conducted partially in response to the German Biofuel Sustainability Ordinance that calls for biofuels used by 2017 to reach a GHG reduction target of 50% when compared to fossil fuels, and 60% by 2018. According to the study, most biofuels at their current default levels for GHG reductions will not be sufficient in meeting the goals set for 2017. "However", the study points out, "this raises the question of the data basis on which the default values were calculated and what reduction in GHG emissions could theoretically be achieved with a process chain optimized in terms of its GHG account".
