Biomass-based liquid fuel production is gaining a lot of interest and it can contribute significantly to reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG). This research project is aimed at assessment of agricultural and forestry biomass for hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel (HDRD) production and development of knowledge-base for scale-up of this pathway to larger scale. Both biodiesel and HDRD can be produced from vegetable oils but the differences lie in the processing methods and final product composition. Energy companies are becoming increasingly interested in producing HDRD rather than biodiesel because HDRD's chemical composition is much closer to that of petroleum diesel and it can have better cold flow properties than biodiesel which are more suitable to colder climate such as in Canada. This research will develop data intensive techno-economic models for assessment of the utilization of agricultural biomass (e.g. straw or grains such as camelina, canola) and forest biomass (e.g. forest residues, whole tree, energy crops including willow) for colder climate appropriate for Canada and estimate the cost of production of HDRD. An energy and emissions assessment of the whole renewable diesel production and utilization process will be conducted along with other sources of biomass. This will help in estimating the total GHG emissions over the life cycle of the HDRD production and utilization. The results of this project will help the petroleum industry with a clear understanding of the cost of biomass based HDRD production and the abatement costs of production of HDRD through various pathways. This project aims at training at least five highly qualified personnel (HQPs) in the area of energy modeling and renewable energy. These HQPs could play a significant role in fast developing renewable energy sector in Canada.

基于生物质的液体燃料产生引起了很多兴趣，它可以显着促进温室气体（GHG）。该研究项目旨在评估氢化衍生的可再生柴油（HDRD）生产的农业和林业生物量，并开发知识库，以扩大这种途径。生物柴油和HDRD均可用植物油产生，但差异在于加工方法和最终产品组成。能源公司对生产HDRD而不是生物柴油变得越来越感兴趣，因为HDRD的化学成分与石油柴油更接近，并且比比生物柴油更适合更适合加拿大等气候的生物柴油更好。这项研究将开发数据密集的技术经济模型，以评估农业生物质的利用（例如稻草或谷物，例如山茶菜，菜籽花）和森林生物量（例如森林残基，全树，包括柳树在内的柳树），以适合加拿大的寒冷气候，并估计HDRD的生产成本。将与其他生物量来源一起对整个可再生柴油生产和利用过程进行能源和排放评估。这将有助于估计HDRD生产和利用生命周期中温室气体的总排放。该项目的结果将有助于石油行业清楚地了解基于生物质的HDRD生产成本以及通过各种途径的HDRD生产成本的减排成本。该项目旨在在能源建模和可再生能源领域培训至少五名高素质的人员（HQP）。这些HQP可能在加拿大快速发展可再生能源领域发挥重要作用。
