"Researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology, BASF Catalyst and Golden BioMass Fuels Corporation report on their investigation of an energy balance, in broad outline, for the production of a high-quality synthetic diesel from residual crop biomass via a Fischer-Tropsch route in a paper published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels."

They released a spreadsheet of the calculation. A word of warning, it is not laid out for a beginner in this area (i.e. no introduction sheet or user tips) and is an early level energy balance.

Good article, Riven!

I'm about to start my final degree project in "Production of synthetic diesel from natural gas via Fischer Trospch". If you have some material about this topic I'd appreciate.

Thank you for such a good spreadsheet,
