| Abstract: | Goal of this research is to find a stable blend of Hydrotreated Vegtable Oil / Biomass-to-liquid biodiesel (BD) and pyrolysis oil (PO) for application in the maritime sector in order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Three alcohols that have a (promising) sustainable production process are used to overcome the difference in polarity between PO and BD; ethanol, butanol and isopropanol. Fuel properties used to determine the fuels capability to replace fossil alternatives are viscosity and higher heating value (HHV). Additionally, it is checked whether these fuels meet several standards with regards to sulphur content. Two blends are found that have a HHV higher than 35 MJ/kg and a viscosity lower than 4.5 cP. |
