The Cetane Energy process does not require the use of methanol, a toxic and flammable material required in excess for conventional transesterification.



The hydrogenation process generates no glycerin and avoids the need for disposal or re-processing of the by-product associated with transesterification processes.

The Cetane Energy process efficiently utilises the energy content of the glycerin moiety within the process thereby reducing external energy demand.



Cetane Energy's process is flexible to accommodate existing feedstocks such as vegetable oils and animal fats, trap grease, high free fatty acid (FFA) feedstocks and emerging feedstock technologies such as algae oil.



Renewable Diesel is almost identical to fossil diesel so conventional fuel additives can be used to reduce cloud and pour points according to the local requirements



The Cetane Energy process uses solid catalysts that can be used over and over again. Unlike first generation biodiesel plants that use acid, hydroxide or methoxide catalysts there is no need to replace the catalyst or remove it from the fuel by washing.
