Welcome to Tecosol – the biodiesel production facility in southern Germany. Renewable energy is our business: Since 2009, we have been producing at the Ochsenfurt site, in addition to fuels for engines, combined heat and power plants (CHP), and combined heat and power (CHP) systems, biodiesel according to DIN standards as well as methyl esters and glycerines of various qualities. Our special raw material mix of waste oils, residues, and crude vegetable oil reduces the proportion of processed vegetable fresh oils and ensures our biodiesel has a CO2 savings potential of up to 80 percent. The World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 presented a diesel engine that, at the request of the French government, was powered by peanut oil. The idea was not pursued further due to high raw material prices, but Rudolf Diesel also experimented later with the use of vegetable oils as fuel for engines and expressed approval. Initially, the Federal Immission Control Act required the mineral oil industry to sell a minimum share of biofuels based on their respective energy content. The biodiesel share in fossil diesel fuel was up to seven percent. As part of the decarbonization strategy, this biofuel quota in Germany was replaced by the greenhouse gas reduction quota. The goal of decarbonization is to reduce or compensate for the carbon emissions of the economy. It is a mainstay of the energy transition and is enshrined in the Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs") of the United Nations regarding the efforts to provide sustainable energy for all and protect the climate. Since 2015, at least 3.5 percent of the climate-relevant gases emitted through fuel consumption must be saved annually in Germany, which is implemented through the blending of biofuels. This share increased to 4 percent in 2017, and from 2020 onwards, it must be 6 percent compared to the base year 2010. Currently, biofuels are only considered sustainable if their use emits a maximum of half the greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuels. From 2018 onwards, this proportion is 60 percent. The changing climate is increasingly coming to the attention of people, bodies, and states. The main cause is considered to be the high worldwide emissions of the climate-damaging gas carbon dioxide (CO2). The greenhouse gas CO2 is produced during the combustion of organic substances such as wood or plants, as well as when using fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas. The combustion of organic substances, so-called biomass, releases exactly as much CO2 as was previously absorbed from the air during plant growth and metabolized into carbon chains. In fossil energy sources, on the other hand, the carbon structure of dead organisms has changed and condensed over millions of years in geological processes. When burning such fossil fuels, CO2 that has been bound as biomass a long time ago is released again, increasing the amount of free CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere today. By predominantly using waste and residues, the proportion of fresh vegetable oils can be significantly reduced. Tecosol GmbH saves over 90 percent of climate-relevant greenhouse gases in its production. As a raw material mix, we at Tecosol use alkaline crude glycerine, crude and refined vegetable oils, used cooking oils and fats, vegetable fatty acids, and other soap and oil-containing residues from the vegetable oil processing industry. Technologically, our multi-feedstock plant is capable of processing all biomass raw materials available on the market based on oil. In our production process, we continuously invest in the intelligent further development of our technology. The result: Our biodiesel already achieves a CO2 savings potential of over 90 percent and already realizes the values for greenhouse gas reductions required from 2018.
