Lignin-derived diesel fuel for rail applications (phase II) : final report / by Yi Zhang and Jacques Monnier. : M154-194/2022E-PDF

"The Transport Canada-sponsored project entitled "Lignin-Derived Drop-in Renewable Diesel Fuels for Rail Applications" has been designed by CanmetENERGY-Ottawa (CE-O, Natural Resources Canada) and its industrial partner CRB Innovations Inc. to assess the feasibility of using lignin-derived diesel fuels as a drop-in biofuel for locomotives for reducing the emissions of non-biogenic greenhouse gases and criteria air contaminants from the rail sector. These "drop-in" biofuels are hydrocarbon-based blending stocks fully compatible with conventional diesel fuels. CE-O and CRB Innovations Inc. have been working together on the development of technologies to convert lignin (a major component of wood) into renewable fuels under a multi-year task-shared agreement. CE-O develops and carries out the catalytic hydrotreatment whereas CRB deconstructs and fractionates lignocellulosic biomass and catalytically depolymerizes the lignin-rich fraction producing clean "oligomeric lignin feedstock" used by CE-O. In this project, the focus is to verify whether diesel fuel blends, containing lignin-derived diesel, can meet CAN/CGSB-3.18-2010 (reaffirmed 2016) specifications for locomotive fuel. …"--Executive summary, page iv.
