The Yellow Diesel technology offers unique benefits:

- Up to 40% saving on the total hardware costs. Storage and intermediate vessels represent about 80% of the total hardware cost. A process based on solid catalysts uses roughly half the equipment compared to a homogeneous one. There is no handling of toxic chemicals and corrosive aqueous solutions, and no need of waste water treatment plant.

- Reduced operating costs, by suppressing those involved in the handling of catalysts, removal and disposal of salts, waste water treatment and alcohol recovery by distillation.

- Minimal use of raw materials, down to the stoichiometric requirements.

- Simple and robust process with no soap formation and no catalyst-related waste streams.
