Abstract
The search for renewable alternatives for the gradual replacement of fossil fuels is one of the great challenges of the contemporary world. Due to the intense use of fossil diesel emissions the development of new renewable fuels is a good practice nowadays. Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is an alternative to biofuels recently developed, witch application in internal combustion engines has shown promising. In this way, a HVO from palm oil life cycle assessment was performed, when operated on an internal combustion engine with compression ignition. 200 l of HVO from NESTE Oil fuel were imported to carry out the experimental test at UNIFEI. For this purpose, experimental tests were carried out on a dynamometer bench in a specially designed with a single cylinder engine. With the tests, pollutant emission parameters were obtained and used in the life cycle assessment, using the software Simapro 9. Results have shown that HVO has the potential to reduce the Global Warming Potential up to 11,7%, the specific emission of NOx up to 25%. Although, the acidification and eutrophication potential of HVO are higher when compared to fossil diesel, due to the input of compounds such as NPK, during the cultivation process of the raw material.
