What are the advantages of BTL diesel?
BTL diesel has outstanding performance characteristics: • BTL diesel is free of aromatics and has a high cetane number. That results in better ignition and combustion properties. Exhaust emissions are considerably lower than with fossil fuel (soot: 30 to 50%; hydrocarbons: up to 90%). • BTL diesel is compatible with particulate filters and even lengthens filter life. • BTL diesel is sulphur-free (better than the 10 ppm contained in so-called sulphur-free diesel). • BTL diesel is the fuel of choice for the next generation of engines because it is “designable”. BTL diesel has the greatest potential of all biofuels because • it can be made from a very wide range of feedstocks. • the whole plant is used, not just its oil, sugar or starch content. • in the short term, the yield per hectare is at least three times higher than that of biodiesel. In the long term, the use of optimized crops and the integration of regenerative hydrogen may improve this advantage to a factor of 10. BTL diesel ha
