“…Permpool et al 20 reported the environmental sustainability analysis for conventional production of H‐FAME in Thailand using palladium catalysts. This study showed that the catalysts have an impact on human health, ecosystem quality and resource availability 20 . The production of H‐FAME through DBD plasma as a green technology would be a good solution for these problems that can be used in the development of advanced sustainable biofuels.…”

“…10 The oxidized biodiesel also has a significant impact on engine performance and emissions 6 Since petrodiesel is less susceptible to oxidation than biodiesel, blends of the two could enhance the oxidation stability. Biodiesel and petrodiesel can be mixed at various levels, that is, B5, B10, B20, B50 and B80 (5,10,20,50 and 80% volume of biodiesel, respectively). New techniques need to be developed for the improvement of the biodiesel quality, especially oxidation stability, to allow higher blending ratios.…”

A catalyst-free and ambient condition dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma torch has been used to efficaciously synthesize partially hydrogenated fatty acid methyl ester (H-FAME) obtained from refined palm oil. The electrode configuration was a needle-to-plate type. The effects of power, H 2 flow rate, discharge gap, process temperature and reaction duration on H-FAME compositions and properties were examined. For 1 hour of reaction time, the optimal condition was 100 W input power, 1.0 L/min H 2 flow rate, 1.0 cm discharge gap and 90 C reaction temperature. Under this condition, the H-FAME contained saturated FAMEs of 56.8% and unsaturated FAMEs of 43.1%, compared to saturated FAMEs of 48.8% and unsaturated FAMEs of 51.0% in the feed FAME. After 1 hour of treatment, the oxidation stability increased by 10.7 hours (from 12.8 to 23.5 hours), while the cloud point increased from 13.5 to 16.0 C. A reduction rate of iodine value was 13.4%/h (reduction from 50.6 to 43.8). The trans-fatty acid formation was not detected in the palm H-FAME.Partial hydrogenation through the DBD plasma torch without using artificial antioxidants or metal catalysts is an environment-friendly and potentially alternative approach, which can substitute conventional catalytic hydrogenation of FAME for enhancing the oxidation stability of biodiesel.

The trend towards increasing biofuel blending mandates in several countries has raised a sustainability trilemma, especially for biofuels derived from palm oil. This study aims to find the most sustainable hydrogen production technology for the production of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) and biofuel blending. It assesses the sustainability of palm‐oil‐derived biofuel blending of biodiesel (FAME), HVO, and petroleum diesel. There are three hydrogen production options for HVO: steam methane reforming (SMR), biomass gasification (BG), and electrolysis from solar energy (PVELC). The use of any production option depends on a combination of fuel quality standards and the prioritized sustainability considerations. The fuel quality aspects consist of constraints on the quality of the blend based on EURO‐2, EURO‐4, and EURO‐5 fuel standards, while sustainability priorities lead to varying policy preferences involving economic, environmental, and social sustainability considerations. There are two approaches to determine the most sustainable blend: using the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and using the sustainability index. The results show that scenarios that favor the economic dimension tend to produce a higher FAME blend, whereas those that prioritize the environment emphasize higher HVO blending with PVELC as the hydrogen production technology. Finally, any scenario that prefers the social aspects tends to produce higher biofuel blending. Overall, to achieve higher sustainability, higher biofuel blending is needed. The policy analysis section concludes that the biofuel policy direction should focus more on combining HVO and FAME so that each can offset the disadvantages of the other. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
