Renewable energy—including biofuels such as renewable diesel (RD) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)—is at the center of the conversation around reducing emissions worldwide. Global production of biofuels is expected to grow 43 billion liters by 2028, largely driven by regulations in the United States and Europe. A wide variety of feedstocks may be used to produce RD and SAF, but for many, a rigorous pretreatment process is required to remove contaminants and impurities before being refined. Removing feedstock contaminants prior to contact with catalysts downstream is critical to help ensure seamless fuel production and to utilize the equipment and catalyst’s full potential. Join Grace biofuels experts Chelsea Grimes and Natalia Krupkin for a discussion of the renewable fuels pretreatment market. We’ll cover challenges facing the market, a comparison of different feedstock types, commercially available technologies for pretreatment and the economics of optimizing a pretreatment unit.
