National Bio-fuel Policy The National Bio-fuel Policy was tabled to Parliament in Oct 2006. Policy s Strategic thrusts: Producing bio-diesel fuel blend of 5% processed palm oil with 95% petroleum diesel for transport & industry Encourage research, development & commercialization of bio-fuel technologies Encourage of setting up palm oil bio-diesel plants for export Bio-fuel for cleaner environment Initial introduction to government fleets by 2006.
National Bio-fuel Policy Implementation Strategy: Short Term: Establishment of Malaysian Standard specifications for B5 diesel B5 introduction to public at selected stations Voluntary trial on B5 diesel for selected users in industrial sector A promotional awareness program to educate public on the use of B5 diesel. Medium Term: Establishment of Malaysian Standard specifications for palm based methyl ester bio-fuel for domestic use and export Extensive B5 testing effort to obtain engine manufacturers warranties on the use of B5 diesel. Legislation to mandate the use of B5 diesel Encourage establishment of commercial methyl ester plants. Long Term: Increase proportion of processed palm oil in diesel blend Greater uptake of bio-fuels technology by Malaysian companies
National Bio-fuel Initiative ENVODIESEL - is a 5% Refined Bleached Deodorised (RBD) Olein blended petroleum diesel. Issues & Concerns : ENVODIESEL is not a bio-diesel by definition EN 14214 & ASTM D 6751 OEM concern on possible deterioration of the triglycerides through oxidation leading to : - shortened durability of injectors and injection pumps - deposition on injectors and clogging of fuel filters Viscous with higher carbon residue compared to typical diesel
Potential Problems with ENVODIESEL Fuel Components Effect Potential Problems Free glycerin Mono-, di- and triglycerides Corrosion of non-ferrous metals Soaking of cellulose filters Sediment on moving parts and lacquering Similar to glycerin Corrosion Filter plugging Injector coking Injector coking Free water Hydrolysis triglycerides to form fatty acids Corrosion Process chemicals Fatty acid methyl esters Entry of potassium & sodium and alkaline earth metals Free fatty acids hastens corrosion of nonferrous metals Salt formation with organic acids Sedimentation Softening, swelling or hardening and cracking of some elastomers including nitrile rubbers Displacement of deposits from diesel operation Filter plugging Corrosion Filter plugging Fuel leakage Filter plugging
Summary Malaysia final energy use posted a strong growth in 2004 with petroleum products constitute a major fraction of the final energy consumption. Transport sector continue to remain the main consumer of energy with 41.2% share of the total end-use demand. High capital investment is required for Malaysian refineries to meet the proposed EURO 4M specifications. Introduction of ENVODIESEL require detail field assessment to address concern on potential issues related to the compatibility and stability.
