[biofuel] Cold distillation?

By my opinion, distillation with low pressure can save energy. There is no need to heat all water, and there is no need to waste water for cooling. If evaporation takes place at, let's say 35oC, there is difference of temperature of 15-20oC. In those conditions one can use thermal pump (like
