Importance of Biofuels
Mid and long term: Limited supply of crude oil
CO2-accumulation in the atmosphere due to open carbon cycles
Immediately (short term): Autarky efforts of European Union
EU-directive 2009/28:Blending of conventional fuels with up to 10% biofuels by 2020

Chemical Process Engineering
Historic Development
Cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons was originally done by thermal cracking
Due to the production of more gasoline with a higher octane rating thermal cracking was replaced by catalytic cracking
Most important conversion process used in petroleum refineries
Conversion of high boiling hydrocarbon fractions of petroleum crude oils to more valuable gasoline, olefinic gases and other products
Adaption of the FCC-process for the use of vegetable-oils
