Abstract:In this study, the correlation between the composition, hydrogen/carbon (H/C) ratio, and hydrogen/oxygen (H/O) ratio of a used cooking oil (UCO) and the specific emissions embodied in the derived hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids synthetic paraffinic kerosene (HEFA‐SPK) is investigated. It is shown that HEFA‐SPK produced from UCOs with low concentrations of C18:1, high concentrations of C18:2, and low H/C ratios utilize less energy and more hydrogen during Fuel Production. Hence, HEFA‐SPK produced from suc… Show more
