IMPORTANCE OF BIODIESEL The world’s accessible oil reservoirs are gradually depleting due to a burgeoning demand of fossil fuels. Owing to the enormous dependency of transport vehicles running on gasoline engines‚ the development of bio-gasoline may well reduce the dependence of the fuel market on fossil fuels. Biofuel development has gained the attention of researchers in recent years owing to the rate of depletion of fossil fuels. Several processes are currently employed in the conventional

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 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 has better lubricating properties and much higher octane ratings than today’s lower sulfur diesel fuels. Biodiesel addition reduces fuel system wear‚ and in low levels

Chemical announced a joint venture to use CO2 emissions-fed algae to make ethanol and biodiesel at a biofuel plant in Ashkelon‚ Israel. This is the world’s leading user of Algae Biofuel and algae biodiesel. Consequently‚ in seeing the Israeli creating positive results from using such methods‚ other countries began to follow. Europe’s most influential country‚ Amsterdam began using algae to create biodiesel for their cars. The company‚ AlgaeLink uses algae to create fuel for airplanes. It has

need. While plants rely directly on the sun for energy‚ humans rely on an array of sources like wind‚ fossil-fuel‚ water‚ solar‚ and more recently biofuels. Of these biofuels‚ which are fuels obtained directly from living plant matter‚ ethanol and biodiesel are the most commonly used. These two sources are typically used to fuel cars‚ trucks‚ aircraft‚ and small-engine machines. Biofuels have garnered much attention because they are derived from renewable resources like corn and soybeans rather than

develop and promote biofuels to replace petroleum as car fuel‚ we should consider the matter from geographical ‚ economical and safety aspects. From geographical perspective‚ biodiesel feedstock available in Hong Kong is waste cooking oil and animal fats. Due to the limited space‚ it is not possible to build many biodiesel production plants in Hong Kong‚ as a result the supply of biofuel would not be enough. Moreover‚ Hong Kong has heavy use of petroleum‚ since it is cheaper‚ more efficient and can

Despite keen interest in this sector‚ there are currently few players in this field: In 2005‚ Brazil and the United States together accounted for 99 percent of global ethanol production‚ whereas Germany and France accounted for 69 percent of global biodiesel production. However‚ developing countries with tropical climates may have a comparative advantage in growing energyrich biomass; and second generation technologies could enable expansion of the range of feedstock used

Environmental Issue Paper 07/31/12 Biofuels: The Pros and Cons A hot topic all over the world today is whether or not biofuels should be implemented to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels are defined as “liquid fuels derived from biological materials; can be made from plants‚ vegetable oils‚ forest products‚ or waste materials” (Dale‚ Kline‚ Wiens‚ 2). Currently in Europe‚ the European Commission (EC) is committed to reducing the total green house gas emissions 20% by 2020‚ and
