Crude palm oil is one of the more than ten renewable raw materials that Neste uses to produce a range of renewable products, including renewable diesel. Palm oil represents approximately 20% of Neste’s renewable raw material usage annually. Increased pressure is created as the belt passes over rollers which decrease in diameter.

Indonesia, China and Malaysia are the three dominant nations in biodiesel, each driven by challenging mandates. Indonesia is targeting 20% adoption by 2025 while Malaysia positions itself to be a dominant exporter with 143 MGY in 2015. Similarly, demand for imported biofuel feedstock, such as soy and palm oil, remains strong in Korea.

GSI/UNEP conference report finds fossil-fuel subsidy reform complex and challenges sobering; ~1% of global GDP spent on fossil-fuel subsidies

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 23, 2011

In 2008, a report by UNEP called for the elimination of fossil-fuel subsidies, concluding that such subsidies often lead to increased levels of consumption and waste; place a heavy burden on government finances; can undermine private and public investment in the energy sector; and do not always end up helping the people who need them most.

Fats and greases and inedible oils are opportunity feedstocks, but the US supply of fats and greases is probably on the order of less than 10 million barrels, closer to 1-2 million barrels on an annual basis. Really the question is can the feedstocks be procured at a price competitive to petroleum oil. Earlier post.)
