💨 Abstract

A joint project by major South African companies Anglo American and De Beers aims to produce renewable diesel from nicotine-free tobacco, repurposing unused mining land. The fuel is compatible with existing diesel engines, meets quality standards, and produces less pollution. The project's goal is to lower fuel costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative is a milestone in sustainable, low-carbon fuels and is expected to be scaled up within two years.
