Has anyone heard of such a thing? It says Wood-based biodiesel
production requires the development of new technology. Are they on to
something or are they still working out

Using wood as feedstock means using either lignin or cellulose, right?
If so, alot of stuff could be made into biodiesel -- grass, weeds,
cardboard, etc... Thermo catalytic cracking
production I think.

I believe that there is a company in Germany (CHOREN) who makes biodiesel
from wood
are leaning
towards gasification. Does anyone in the group have any comments on that
technology?

Hello Steve
: [Biofuel] Biodiesel from wood
Hello Steve et al,
if my memory isn¨t fooling me, is there a fatty acid fraction in tall oil.
The composition of this reminds very much of that of soy bean oil. But it
takes a lot of distilling and fractionizing to get this fatty acid fraction
clean enough

substitutes from pine trees -- I thought this was more like turpentine
though, derived more from the sap than the wood? I'm not an expert
on this by any means, but perhaps someone else remembers exactly what

Yes RTK is building a F-T plant in Denver;; main feed stock is coal

Howdy Steve
gasification of cellulose forms methanol, not ethanol, right? hydrolysis of
the
cellulose/hemicellulose then fermentation would yield ethanol, but the
processes are quite different.
btw, the white
One system is thermal pyrolysis of biomass (wood etc.) to Bio-wood oil.
This is done without combustion, just heating the biomass to about 500C.
It produces a mixture of Waxes - diesel - low grade gasoline - light
hydrocarbons - and gaseous hydrocarbons (CO-Methane...)
They spec about 80%

something or are they still working out if this is even possible?
