5 Biomass Conversion to Biofuels Renewable? Low H/C ratio? Contains water Corrosion problems? High oxygen content (aldehydes, acids, cetones) Reduced heating value Reduced oxidation stability Increased acidity Engine performance problems Biomass requires H/C increase, oxygen andη 2 Ο removal 5

6 Hydrotreating & Biomass Upgrading Common refining conversion technology H/C ratio increase Heteroatom (S, N, O) and metals removal High conversion Feedstock variability No by-products Most effective technology for biomass upgrading Liquid biomass Solid biomass Catalytic Pyrolysis Pyrolysis biooil Catalytic Hydrotreating Gasoline Diesel Gasification Fischer-Tropsch synthesis Wax 6

11 Co-Processing Biomass Technical & Environmental Targets Crude oil Biomass Emissions Emissions Refinery Energy Other products FAME ethanol Fuels Hybrid fuels A. Technical feasibility Utilize existing infrastructure Maintain similar operation Maintain same product quality B.Environmental performance Mitigate energy consumption Reduction of emissions (WTT) 11

12 A Co-Processing Case Study SustainDiesel Project Aim: Improvement of diesel sustainability by incorporating WCO and RES in existing refinery Project duration: Partners: Coordinator: Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) Academic partners:aristotle University of Thessaloniki & National Technical University of Athens Industrial partners: Hellenic Petroleum & Sunlight S.A. Financing: Program Competitiveness (ESPA) with funds from EU and Greek Government 12

13 Technical Feasibility Assessment ❶Evaluation of hydrotreating catalyst ❷Determine optimal operating conditions T, P, Η 2 /oil, LHSV ❸Determine max WCO mixing ratio ❹Evaluate emissions & engine performance 13

14 Nitrogen variation (%) NiMocatalyst showed a performance increase for the feedstock with the largest WCO content NiMocatalyst exhibited increased HDN performance with increasing WCO content NiMo CoMo Sulfur variation (%) 100/0 95/5 90/10 85/15 80/20 75/25 70/30 Feed GasOil/WCO Catalyst Evaluation Heteroatom Removal NiMo CoMo /0 95/5 90/10 85/15 80/20 75/25 70/3 0 Feed GasOil/WCO WCO addition does not decrease product quality when NiMo catalyst is used 14

15 Catalyst Evaluation Deactivation Rate Catalyst deactivation rate is extremely important for catalyst selection Deactivation rate 1.1 determined based on 1 desulfurization efficiency at different DOS 1.5 Normalized desulfurization (1 for 100/0) Days On Stream (DOS) NiModeactivation rate is 3 times smaller than CoMo 15

16 Effect of Biomass Content Heteroatom Removal & Diesel Yields Diesel yield favored with increasing WCO WCO contained triglycerides can be more easily converted into diesel range hydrocarbons Desulfurization shows an optimum rate at ~10% WCO Desulfurization efficiency decreases for high WCO ratios Normalized sulfur (1 for 100/0) 100/0 95/5 90/10 85/15 80/20 75/25 70/30 Feed GasOil/WCO 1.05 Normalized diesel yield (1 for 100/0) /0 95/5 90/10 85/15 80/20 75/25 70/30 Feed GasOil/WCO WCO favors diesel yields but at higher ratios limits HDS 16

17 Hydrogen consumption affects process economics 2.5 Hydrogen consumption 2 increases due to 1.5 underlying HDO 1 kinetics Smaller WCO rates (<90%) are preferred for economic feasibility of WCO integration Effect of Biomass Content Hydrogen Consumption Normalized H 2 consumption (1 for 100/0) 0 100/0 95/5 90/10 85/15 80/20 75/25 70/30 Feed GasOil/WCO WCO increases H 2 consumption 17

18 Environmental Performance Assessment Diesel emissions Total refinery emissions Current Diesel Production Proposed WCO incorporation* kg CO 2 eq-/kg kg CO 2 eq-/kg 2,119 Mt CO 2 eq-/yr 1,679 Mt CO 2 eq-/yr Fuel combustions, 18.6% * Calculations are based on substituting 30% of fossil fraction (HAGO) with WCO Electricity, 5.9% Natural gas production and transportation, 1.5% Biodiesel production and transportation, 2.0% Crude oil extraction and transportation, 69.2% Expected reduction of GHG emissions by 20.75% 18

19 Conclusions Catalytic hydrotreatment is an effective process for biomass upgrading Bio-based intermediates & lipids upgrading Compatibility with fossil fuels, attractive properties Co-hydroprocessing can allow immediate and sustainable biomass integration with energy markets No requirement of investments on new infrastructure No significant technology limitations Improvement of fuel sustainability (lower carbon foot-print) 19
