Generating Power

 

Producing Electricity from Hydrogen and Renewable Gas

 

Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed in a fuel cell, produces only water. Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind.

Hydrogen fuel is considered environmentally-friendly since it does not produce the same waste as fossil fuels during production.

 

RNG-Renewable Gas

RNG is a term used to describe biogas that has been upgraded for use in place of fossil natural gas. The biogas used to produce RNG comes from a variety of sources, including municipal solid waste landfills, digesters at water resource recovery facilities (wastewater treatment plants), livestock farms, food production facilities and organic waste management operations.

As a substitute for natural gas, RNG has many end uses:

  • in thermal applications

  • to generate electricity

  • for vehicle fuel

  • as a bio-product feedstock.

 
 
 

Producing Renewable Diesel and SAF from UCO

 

UCO - Used Cooking Oil

UCO can help contribute to the production of various biofuels, a cleaner-burning alternative to petroleum that reduces carbon emissions by up to 85% per gallon.

Biodiesel produced from used cooking oil (UCO) or waste cooking oil (WCO) is an advanced biofuel, i.e. second-generation since it is obtained from a non-crop feedstock.

Phibro RenewOil is an affiliate of Phibro, where we collect Used Cooking Oil from Restaurants, Commercial Kitchens, Malls, etc. and transform UCO into Biodiesel.

 

Renewable Diesel

Renewable Fuels are fuels produced from renewable resources. Examples include: biofuels (e.g. Vegetable oil used as fuel, ethanol, methanol from clean energy and carbon dioxide or biomass, and biodiesel) and Hydrogen fuel (when produced with renewable processes). Renewable diesel is a renewable fuel that is chemically the same as petroleum diesel. It can be used in existing petroleum pipelines, storage thanks and diesel engines and it is made from vegetable oils, animal fats, recycled restaurant grease.

 

SAF-Sustainable Aviation Fuel

SAF is produced from sustainable feedstocks and is very similar in its chemistry to traditional fossil jet fuel. Using SAF results in a reduction in carbon emissions compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces over the lifecycle of the fuel. Jet fuel packs a lot of energy for its weight and it is this energy density that has really enabled commercial flight. For example, a return flight between London and San Francisco has a carbon footprint per economy ticket of nearly 1 tonne of CO2e. With the aviation industry expected to double to over 7.8 billion passengers by 2036, it is essential that we act to reduce aviation’s carbon emissions and SAF is one way in which Phibro is doing that.
