Dynamotive commences scalable production of renewable diesel, gasoline in Canada

In Canada, Dynamotive Energy Systems announced today that it has commenced scalable production of renewable gasoline and diesel from biomass at its research facility in Waterloo Ontario through its two stage upgrading process from bio-oil. Dynamotive’s process uses a pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass to produce a bio-crude.

The biocrude is then hydro-reformed to a gas-oil equivalent liquid fuel usable in stationary power and heating applications. The second-stage upgrade converts the oil into renewable transportation fuels. Dynamotive said it can deliver renewable fuels from biomass at a cost of less than $2 per gallon of “ethanol-equivalent fuel” at a volume of up to 4.5 Mgy per processing plant.
