Talk:Green diesel

Merge
Originally, I suggested Biomass to liquid, but now I think Vegetable oil refining might be a better fit (at least at first)--MarsInSVG (talk) 18:59, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Differentiating between Biodiesel and Green Diesel
There needs to be some serious work on this article to provide references showing "green diesel" is NOT another name for biodiesel. There are two references, but one of them clearly states : Green Diesel "is indistinguishable from traditional diesel fuel and can work as a drop-in replacement or as a valuable blend stock that will enhance the quality of the existing diesel pool. Because it is chemically similar to traditional diesel fuel, green diesel can be used in today's tanks, pipelines, trucks, pumps and automobiles without changes, which will save significant expense as demand for renewables grows." It seems like the gist of the article is "it's just like diesel but not", Right now it looks like an article for deletion(or merge).--MarsInSVG (talk) 21:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * To anyone who plans to delete this article under the impression that it is a duplicate of biodiesel... GREEN DIESEL != BIODISEL


 * better yet perhaps a merge with Biomass to liquids--MarsInSVG (talk) 21:37, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge. Biomass to liquid seems to be a good target for merging. In addition, it should be mentioned in Biodiesel article as a diesel from biomass but not classified as biodiesel by the technical classification. Beagel (talk) 06:14, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I got the following email from GW Huber - one of the article's sources "Green diesel is a different type of fuel than bio-diesel. Both are produced from vegetable oils. Bio-diesel is formed by transesterification of vegetables oils. Green diesel is formed by hydrotreating of vegetables oils. Several companies have commercial processes to make green diesel including UOP; NESTE; and ConocoPhillips." I still think we should merge, but I feel like the idea of green diesel is coming together and the pages for diesel / green diesel / BTL / etc all have some rewrites ahead--MarsInSVG (talk) 18:44, 12 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. After re-studying these articles, it seems that the correct article to merge would be Vegetable oil refining. There is a significant overlapping; however, vegetable oil refining article is more comprehensive and less promotional. Beagel (talk) 11:07, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Merger is now completed. However, the merged article still needs a lot o work. Beagel (talk) 11:49, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

UNFCCC
There is a mention in the article of "United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Conference ", is that the same as "2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference"??? Chekristo (talk) 12:36, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Parties of the Convention have every year an annual conference. In 2009 it was 2008 United Nations Climate Change Conference. Beagel (talk) 06:09, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
