NNFCC, bioLPG: feedstocks, feasibility and our future pathway (2019)

Most biopropane is produced as a co-product of the hydrogenated Vegetable oil (HVO) process, where vegetable oils are treated with hydrogen to produce renewable diesel or aviation oil. HVO and co-processing are likely to be the main source of biopropane during the next decade, however after that gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is likely to be the dominant production technology. For this a variety of feedstocks including lignocellulosic biomass, sugar, starch, waste and glycerol are processed in a variety of ways in order to produce biopropane.
