Green diesel and Biomethanol

Green diesel the molecular structure of green diesel is similar to petroleum diesel, but with improved properties compared to petroleum diesel. Alternative fuels are made using this component. Using hydrogen and hydrotreating, green diesel was made by treating vegetable oil triglycerides with hydrogen.
The use of readily accessible virgin and waste biomasses as feedstock for gaseous (bio-gas) and liquid fuels (bio-methanol, bio-ethanol, and bio-butanol) production is being explored as a sustainable and feasible alternative to fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and petro-fuels like gasoline and diesel). Biomethanol is being investigated as an appealing liquid fuel as well as a feedstock for the synthesis of a variety of important organic chemicals that are now derived from coal, natural gas, and petroleum feedstocks. Methanol can be utilised in fuel cell cars since it degrades fully into CO2 and water when exposed to steam. M85, a blend of 85% methanol and 15% gasoline, may be utilised in current cars without requiring substantial technological changes. Gasification or pyrolysis are two methods for producing bio methanol. It is produced in greater quantities by gasification than by pyrolysis.
