Report On the road to pure plant oil Gave

Summary

The road to pure plant oil?
The technical, environment-hygienic and cost-related aspects of using pure plant oil as a transport fuel

There is increasing interest, at both regional and local levels, in using pure plant oil (PPO) as a fuel for road vehicles. PPO is a possible replacement for diesel, and is currently popular with both the general public and politicians, partly as a regionally implemented solution to climate change and other environmental problems. However, very little is known about the actual environmental advantages and costs relating to the implementation of PPO. It is also not clear which applications are most suitable for PPO use, which criteria these applications must meet (both vehicle and fuel) and which other technical aspects play a role, e.g. storing PPO. AgencyNL commissioned this report in order to fill in the current gaps in this knowledge.
