The economics of biodiesel production are currently constrained by its costs of manufacture and its introduction into the marketplace is being partly facilitated by Treasury tax breaks. This proposal seeks to improve the economics of production by development of value-added chemicals and materials from the rapemeal co-product. This focused study will look at the market economics to develop commercially viable products. The two major product streams to be investigated will be separated and validated for use as: (1) pour point depressants to boost bio diesel performance and (2) additives & co-polymers for rubber materials and cosmetics. The BioComposites Centre (BC) will provide and develop separation/processing technologies to achieve these aims. BC will undertake ozonolysis experiments on RSO to develop new cold pour technologies that will be evaluated by Octel. The development of additives based on this technology will also be explored for alternative applications such as tack modifiers and stabilisers.

目前，生物柴油生产的经济效益受到制造成本的限制，而财政部的税收减免政策在一定程度上促进了生物柴油进入市场。该提案旨在通过从油菜副产品中开发增值化学品和材料来提高生产的经济性。这项重点研究将着眼于市场经济学，以开发商业上可行的产品。将研究的两个主要产品流将被分离并验证用于：(1)提高生物柴油性能的降凝剂和(2)橡胶材料和化妆品的添加剂和共聚物。生物复合材料中心（BC）将提供和开发分离/处理技术来实现这些目标。BC将对RSO进行臭氧分解实验，以开发新的冷倒技术，Octel将对这些技术进行评估。基于该技术的添加剂的开发也将用于其他应用，如粘性改性剂和稳定剂。
