There they can leverage well-established brands, loyal customers and existing distribution infrastructure.
Some in the community worry that a sharp increase in the number of CDFIs could overwhelm existing distribution infrastructure, kinda like how more capital in an entrepreneurial ecosystem doesn't always incentivize the proliferation of new, high-quality, startups.
Thus, biohydrocarbons hold the potential to be developed into 'drop-in' biofuels compatible with the existing distribution infrastructures used for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuels in terms of their fatty acyl chain length [ 3].
The replacement for current alternative fuels need no aircraft modifications and can be used with the current aviation system, encompassing existing distribution and refueling infrastructure [226].
Given the central role that chemical fuels already play in electricity generation, the conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels that are capable of being used in the existing distribution and end-use infrastructure would be highly desirable [9].
That means completely reorganising the existing distribution of wealth.
Existing Distribution Channels.
Existing distribution system.
Also, liquid fuels were preferred over gaseous fuels not only because they have a better volumetric energy density but also because they were the most compatible fuels with existing distribution systems and engines, thus avoiding a big departure from the existing technologies and taking advantage of the vehicle and the refueling infrastructure.
General advantages of biodiesel include biodegradability, higher flash point, reduction in exhaust emissions, miscibility in all ratios with petrodiesel, compatibility with the existing fuel distribution infrastructure and inherent lubricity (Knothe2008).
Biodiesel is a promising alternative to diesel fuel, as it has a number of advantages including high cetane number, flash point, and inherent lubricity, creates less exhaust emissions, and contains no polluting chemicals like sulfur, as well as being renewable, biodegradable, and compatible to the existing fuel distribution infrastructure.
