The Evaluation Of Flash Point And Cold Filter Plugging Point With Blends Of Diesel And Cyn-Diesel Pyrolysis Fuel For Automotive Engines, Fionnuala Murphy Jul 2013

The Evaluation Of Flash Point And Cold Filter Plugging Point With Blends Of Diesel And Cyn-Diesel Pyrolysis Fuel For Automotive Engines, Fionnuala Murphy

The production of synthetic fuels from alternative sources has increased in recent years as a cleaner, more sustainable source of transport fuel is now required. The European Commission has outlined renewable energy targets pertaining to transport fuel which must be met by 2020. In response to these targets Ireland has committed, through the Biofuels Obligation Scheme of 2008, to producing 3% of transport fuels from biofuels by 2010 and 10% by 2020. In order to be suitable for sale in Europe, diesel fuels and biodiesels must meet certain European fuel specifications outlined in the EN 590:2009 standard. The aim of …

In order to be suitable for sale in Europe, diesel fuels and biodiesels must meet certain European fuel specifications outlined in the EN 590:2004 and EN 14214:2009 standards. The aim of this project is to prepare blends of varying proportions of synthetic diesel fuel …
