Major differences between Lipofit and other energetic resources:
     
  Calorific value: Lipofit is 38.5 MJ/kg, around 90% of heavy fuel.
 
Sulfur content: Lipofit has very low sulphur content, around 0.5-3.5% of sulfur content in other general energetic resources. This will result in a significant reduction in generation.
 

Ash content: Lipofit has a higher ratio than medium and heavy fossil fuel. The majority is calcium, with other mineral elements in the ash content of Lipofit . For other energetic resources, residuals are mainly organic substances.
