purpose of this experiment was to compare biodiesel to other fuels. The ecotoxicity of biodiesel was estimated‚ along with that of other biofuels through the germination of seeds in the presence of different concentrations of fuels. This resulted in biodiesel having an average of 79.4% germinated seeds in a 10% solution of fuel‚ compared to other fuels whose percentage of germinated seeds decreased with higher concentrations of fuel. In addition‚ biodiesel was also synthesized and its heat of combustion

BIOFUELS "Biofuels" typically refer to fluid transportation fuels like ethanol‚ biogas and biodiesel that are made from biomass materials – but can include prepared solid biomass fuels. These fuels are: Often blended with the petroleum fuels - gasoline and diesel fuel‚ but they can also be used on their own. o Using ethanol or biodiesel means we don’t burn quite as much fossil fuel. Often more expensive than the fossil fuels that they replace but they

world is looking at a new source of energy. A very small and unexpected source that most would not even have considered an option; algae. Using biodiesel fuels harvested from algae is not only helpful for the environment‚ but is a smarter way to produce alternative energy‚ save money‚ create jobs and eliminate America’s dependency on foreign oil. The use of biodiesel fuel has been around since the beginning of the diesel engine. Its inventor‚ Rudolf Diesel‚ showcased his invention using peanut oil

Biodiesel It refers to a vegetable oil- or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl‚ propyl or ethyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids (e.g.‚ vegetable oil‚ animal fat (tallow[1][2])) with an alcohol producing fatty acid esters. Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to fuel converted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used alone‚ or blended with petro diesel

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Biodiesel manufacturing Industry Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel‚ produced from domestic‚ renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum‚ but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use‚ biodegradable‚ nontoxic. Biodiesel is better for the environment because it is made

BIODIESEL INCORPORATED Summary Josh‚ Long and Hammond came up with a business idea of manufacturing and distributing biodiesel. The major generation sources‚ petroleum‚ coal‚ natural gas aand nuclear are non renewable resources and have detrimental effects on the environment. The petrochemical fuel industry manifest itself in the form of oil fields and reserves‚ pipelines‚ transport ships‚ and fuelling stations. The whole idea behind the biodiesel was that it can be produced again and it did not
