Techno-Economic, Feasibility, and Life Cycle Analysis of Renewable Propane: 2025 Update

Summary

This report updates a techno-economic analysis of recovering renewable propane (RP) from existing and planned biorefineries, focusing on hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) facilities. It reassesses the technical and economic viability in light of evolving markets, policies (including new Inflation Reduction Act credits), and various facility configurations. The analysis confirms that RP recovery remains an attractive co-product strategy, with payback periods ranging significantly based on factors like capital expenditures, plant size, and policy incentives, ultimately reinforcing its role as a value-enhancing strategy.
