  • Process Technologies and Projects for Biolpg
    energies Review Process Technologies and Projects for BioLPG Eric Johnson Atlantic Consulting, 8136 Gattikon, Switzerland; [email protected]; Tel.: +41-44-772-1079 Received: 8 December 2018; Accepted: 9 January 2019; Published: 15 January 2019 Abstract: Liquified petroleum gas (LPG)—currently consumed at some 300 million tonnes per year—consists of propane, butane, or a mixture of the two. Most of the world’s LPG is fossil, but recently, BioLPG has been commercialized as well. This paper reviews all possible synthesis routes to BioLPG: conventional chemical processes, biological processes, advanced chemical processes, and other. Processes are described, and projects are documented as of early 2018. The paper was compiled through an extensive literature review and a series of interviews with participants and stakeholders. Only one process is already commercial: hydrotreatment of bio-oils. Another, fermentation of sugars, has reached demonstration scale. The process with the largest potential for volume is gaseous conversion and synthesis of two feedstocks, cellulosics or organic wastes. In most cases, BioLPG is produced as a byproduct, i.e., a minor output of a multi-product process. BioLPG’s proportion of output varies according to detailed process design: for example, the advanced chemical processes can produce BioLPG at anywhere from 0–10% of output. All these processes and projects will be of interest to researchers, developers and LPG producers/marketers. Keywords: Liquified petroleum gas (LPG); BioLPG; biofuels; process technologies; alternative fuels 1. Introduction Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is a major fuel for heating and transport, with a current global market of around 300 million tonnes per year.

REGULATION (EC) No 139/2004 MERGER PROCEDURE Article 7(3) Date: 14.09.2004 COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 14.09.2004 PUBLIC VERSION MERGER PROCEDURE ARTICLE 7(3) DECISION To the notifying party: Dear Madame/ Sir, Subject: Derogation pursuant to Article 7.3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 139/2004 Case No COMP/M.3275 - Shell España/ Cepsa/ SIS JV I. BACKGROUND 1. We refer to the application for a derogation from the suspension obligations provided for in Article 7(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 139/2004 (the Merger Regulation) submitted by Shell España, S.A. (part of the Royal Dutch/Shell group of companies, “Shell”) and Compañía Española de Petróleos, S.A. (“Cepsa”) on 10 September 2004. The parties are requesting a derogation from the suspension of the implementation of a concentration in respect of the proposed acquisition of joint control of a newly created company, Spanish Into-plane Services, S.L. (“SIS”). II. THE PARTIES AND THE TRANSACTION 2. Shell España is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group. It is a Spanish limited liability company with its corporate seat in Madrid.
