What Are Biofuels?

What Are Biofuels?

Biofuels are made from biomass, meaning that they are processed from plant, animal or organic materials.

INDUSTRIAL STAGE

OIL-YIELDING PLANTS AND GRAINS

Plant oils (sunflower, rapeseed, etc.)

  • Ester-based biodiesel
  • Renewable diesel (HVO)

Sugar/starch (sugarcane, sugar beets, corn, wheat)

  • Biogasoline
FAT, OIL AND GREASE WASTE AND RESIDUE

Animal fat or Used cooking oil

  • Ester-based biodiesel
  • Renewable diesel (HVO)
  • Sustainable aviation fuel

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

PLANT WASTE AND RESIDUE

Agricultural and forest residue (leaves, stalks, etc.)

  • Biogasoline
  • Renewable diesel (HVO)
  • Sustainable aviation fuel
CO2 CAPTURED BY MICROORGANISMS

Microalgae

  • Renewable diesel (HVO)
  • Sustainable aviation fuel

We are a major player in biofuels, both in production (renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel), distribution (biogasoline and ester-based biodiesel) and research (microalgae).
