1. 1G-VS-2G BIODIESEL comparative-analysis By : Magellanium Technologies

2. Introduction Biodiesel, a promising fossil-fuel alternative, drives economies towards energy transition with net-zero emission policies. Development spans generations, progressing from 1st to 2nd-gen for improved combustion, engine performance, and GHG emissions. Let's compare 1G and 2G biodiesel for feasibility.

3. What is 1st Generation Biodiesel 1st generation biodiesel, derived from feedstock like cooking oil and animal fats, uses catalytic transesterification to convert fats into FAME. It avoids food insecurity by not consuming cultivable land.

4. This generation of biodiesel uses the following feedstock and does not cause any food insecurity by consuming cultivable land. Used cooking oil Waste cooking oil from commercial food manufacturing units, processing units, eateries, etc is collected as feedstock for producing biodiesel. Animal fats Waste cooking oil from commercial food manufacturing units, processing units, eateries, etc is collected as feedstock for producing biodiesel. Inedible vegetable oils Best sources for biodiesel feedstock are inedible vegetable oils like palm stearin, palm fatty oil, and soya acid oil. These oils undergo chemical transformation to produce FAME after collection and purification, followed by refinement for use with fossil fuels.

5. What is 2nd Generation Biodiesel ? 2G biodiesel, also known as biohydro-fined diesel (BHD), is a superior version using non-food biomass compared to 1st-gen. This carbon-neutral fuel is an excellent alternative to fossil fuels, prepared from various feedstock genres. This carbon-neutral fuel is an excellent alternative to fossil fuels and can be prepared from the following feedstock genres. Wood Forestry residues (sawdust, wood chips, etc) Algal oils Industrial waste Agricultural residues (husks, straw, stubbles, etc) Ecological biomass crops Perennial grass Non-food vegetable oils like jatropha oil, camelina oil, etc

6. 1G vs 2G biodiesel: A Brief Comparison Production Process 1G biodiesel is produced through transesterification of preprocessed feedstock, meeting industry standards post-processing. In contrast, 2G biodiesel undergoes transesterification after feedstock goes through costly pretreatment steps like pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal liquefaction, raising its price. Environmental Impact 1G biodiesel reduces GHG emissions using non-edible oils, avoiding food insecurity. Procuring feedstock volume is a challenge. 2G biodiesel, utilizing forestry residues and non-food sources, also cuts emissions and shows potential for sustainable feedstock like microalgae to address environmental concerns.

7. 1G vs 2G Biodiesel: Overall Sustainability The comparison highlights 2G biodiesel's early stage with higher costs and potential land use issues. Conversely, 1G biodiesel addresses waste problems in developing countries, making it a sustainable fossil fuel alternative for environmental conservation.
