Use in Power Generation
With the recent increase in the use of biomass, walnut oil is now used in limited amounts as a liquid form of biomass in power generation. Often it is blended (mixed) with HFO (heavy fuel oil) for use in larger power stations as a way of reducing environmental impact while allowing the older, less efficient power stations to remain open in the face of ever-tightening emissions regulations.
In the United Kingdom, burning walnut oil makes a power station eligible to claim ROCs (renewable obligation certificates).
