Biofuels have become increasingly popular in recent years, both because of their low price and as a less polluting alternative to fossil hydrocarbons.

Obtained by processing organic substances such as plants or animal waste, they are now used to fuelling heat engines, generating electricity and producing natural gas.

The term biofuels identifies all those fuels derived from the processing of biomass, for instance organic substances of both plant and animal origin. In simpler terms, these are fuels that are derived from the direct cultivation of certain plants, agricultural or livestock waste, wood processing and even algae.

These fuels are used for quite similar uses as an alternative to fossil fuels. They can power heat engines, generate natural gas or be used to produce electricity. Organic substances, biofuels are regarded as renewable sources of energy. Unlike oil, coal and other minerals, their availability is not limited either in quantity or in time.

For this reason, more and more customers are looking for alternative options to meet future demand for air for construction sites, farms, events and other projects.

Biemmedue has designed its space heaters so that they can run on both fossil fuels and biofuels, maintaining their output at maximum levels regardless of the fuel chosen.

Electric heaters or pellet heating systems can perfectly replace diesel heaters in many situations. However, if a larger capacity is required, the options become much more limited for systems mobile; capacity too small or too complex to set up without being mobile. The choice for companies is limited.

HVO

Hvo is a renewable paraffinic fuel also known by the names 'synthetic diesel' and 'renewable diesel'. Produced from vegetable or animal oils derived from residues from the meat and fishing industries. Being obtained from organic material, Hvo - unlike biodiesel - neither uses agricultural resources nor contributes to deforestation. It can be used wherever diesel fuel is used today. It is possible to achieve a reduction in overall CO2 emissions by up to 90 per cent depending on the raw material used in the production of Hvo.

In addition, compared to most conventional diesel fuels, Hvo has an exceptionally low sulphur content and its use reduces the low and its use reduces exhaust emissions. It is 100 per cent fossil-free and 100 per cent recycled. HVO can be used without restriction as fuel for Biemmedue heaters; this applies to the entire range of hot air generators we produce.

FAME

Another alternative on the market, so-called FAME or biodiesel, is currently blended with B7 diesel for 7 per cent or B10 (10% FAME maximum). The growth of microbiological organisms is possible in FAME, so storage of this fuel can reduce quality. Biemmedue advises not to use mixtures with more than10% FAME as fuel for our hot air generators, as nozzles and seals may clogging.

GTL

A third alternative as a replacement for conventional diesel is GTL. GTL is a liquid fuel based on natural gas. natural gas, burns cleaner than conventional petroleum diesel, and therefore produces fewer local emissions and smoke. GTL is also odourless and colourless.

We have also tested this fuel in our heaters. GTL can be applied to all Biemmedue heaters without having to make any adjustments. We are convinced that with this solution we will be able to meet the possible wishes of your customers if they have wishes regarding the reduction of fossil fuels
