Opracowanie technologii procesu współuwodornienia frakcji napędowych z olejami roślinnymi jako potencjalne źródło biokomponentów dla oleju napędowego
One of the strategic goals of the European Union’s energy policy is to increase the use of renewable energy resources, including biofuels. EU directives, such as RED II (Renewable Energy Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable resources) impose on the Member States the requirement to ensure a minimum share of renewable energy resources in transport. In order to implement these guidelines, the so-called National Index Target (Narodowy Cel Wskaźnikowy – NCW) imposing on the fuel producers the obligation to ensure “a minimum share of biocomponents and other renewable fuels used in all types of transport, in the total amount of liquid fuels and liquid biofuels used during the calendar year in road and rail transport, calculated according to the heating value”. This index continues to increase from 7.50% in 2018, 8.7 in 2021, to planned 9.1% in 2024. The CO-BIO project tackled the issue of these growing needs. A technology for simultaneous processing of crude oil fraction with vegetable oils using the existing diesel hydrodesulphurization installations (the so-called co-hydrogenation process) was developed. In this project, PKN ORLEN, in cooperation with the Industrial Chemistry Research Institute (currently Łukasiewicz Research Network), conducted, a series of laboratory tests aimed at selecting raw materials and determining optimal process conditions. Based on the results of the conducted research, we planned a demonstration trial of the process under development on a full-scale production installation at our Production Plant in Płock, which we carried oud in 2018. We composed and tested diesel blends containing a biocomponent from the developed process, finally obtaining a finished commercial product that meets the normative quality requirements.
