Biodiesel (driver)
• Hactl is committed to developing the sustainable business without
compromising the need of future generation
• ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 accreditation
• pledged to make HKIA the World’s Greenest Airport
• to reduce airport-wide carbon emissions by 25% per workload unit (100
kg of aircargo) by 2015 based on 2008 level.
Biodiesel (what)
Biodiesel
• fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived
from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the
requirements of ASTM D 6751.
Biodiesel Blend
• blend of biodiesel fuel meeting ASTM D 6751 with petroleum-based
diesel fuel, designated BXX, where XX represents the volume
percentage of biodiesel fuel in the blend.
European Standard - EN14214

Biodiesel (Formation)
Glycerin + Biodiesel + waste oil

Alcohol
Vegetable Oils /
Animal Fats
Biodiesel (why)
• Non-toxic
• Biodegradeable
• Greenhouse gases and air
pollutants reduced
• Use in boiler and internal
combustion engine without
major adjustment
• Minor drop in performance
• Zero sulphates emission
• Small net contribution of
CO2
