Biofuels
Fuels produced directly or indirectly from organic substances such as plant materials and animal waste.

A renewable energy source manufactured by fermenting the sugar and starch components of plant by-products - mainly sugarcane molasses and crops like grain.

A renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease and is used as fuel in diesel vehicles.
Read moreBIOFUELS
- Biofuels are fuels produced directly or indirectly from organic substances such as plant materials and animal waste.
- Biofuels can be liquid or gaseous transport fuels. The two most commonly produced biofuels are Bioethanol and Biodiesel.
- Bioethanol is used as a replacement for petrol and biodiesel is used as a replacement for diesel.
- Biofuels serve as a renewable energy sources that are alternative to fossil fuels. They help in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to environmental conservation and sustainability.
- By 2020, the EU aims to have 10% of the transport fuel of every EU country come from renewable sources such as biofuels. Fuel suppliers are also required to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the EU fuel mix by 6% by 2020 in comparison to 2010.
- Demand for biofuels is sustained by obligatory blending, growing environmental concerns and the rapid depletion of crude oil deposits.
- Biofuels represent an immense growth opportunity around the world and have an important role to play in displacing the fossil fuels the world has relied upon in the past with a cleaner, renewable alternative.
- Chemikuwait is Building two Biofuel projects with its partners in the region, Bioethanol and Biodiesel projects.
Bioethanol
- Bioethanol is a renewable energy source manufactured by fermenting the sugar and starch components of plant by-products – mainly sugarcane molasses and crops like grain.
- The Bioethanol has several uses, namely: it can be blended with petrol to make a truly sustainable transportation fuel, and it creates the clean burning. It’s also used in hospitals for cleaning & sterilization as well as the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
- Chemikuwait plans to build a Bioethanol factory which will be designed and supplied by the Spanish Company Tomsa Destil, one of the top biofuel plant supplying companies worldwide.
- The project is considered a green industry providing clean fuel, using by-products that do not affect the Global food system
Biodiesel
- Biodiesel is a renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease and is used as fuel in diesel vehicles.
- The physical properties of Biodiesel are similar to those of petroleum diesel, but it is a cleaner-burning and more environmental friendly alternative.
- Biodiesel can be used in pure form (B100) or may be blended with petroleum diesel at any concentration/proportion in most injection pump diesel engines.
- New extreme high-pressure (29,000 psi) common rail engines have strict factory limits of B5 or B20, depending on the manufacturer.
- Biodiesel has different solvent properties than petro-diesel, and will degrade natural rubber gaskets and hoses in vehicles as well. Biodiesel blends can also be used as heating oil.
- Chemikuwait plans to produce Biodiesel in the region with used cooking oil.
- The production facility will be designed and supplied by the Spanish Company Tomsa Destil, one of the top ranking biofuel plant supplying companies worldwide.
- The project is considered a green industry, providing clean fuel using recycled products which enhance the environmental preservation efforts and eliminate the adverse impacts.
