Default What is Biodiesel?

What is Biodiesel?



The rising costs of fuel, and impact of petroleum based fuels in the environment, are the reasons for the discovery of biodiesel. Biodiesel is basically a fuel that is used as an alternative fuel that is made using renewable resources like vegetable oils and animal fats. If you look at it chemically, biodiesel is a mixture of mono-alkyl esters found as long chains of fatty acids. It is with the help of a lipid transesterification production process that the base oil is converted into the needed esters. In the meantime, this process also removes free fatty acids found here.




Biodiesel is a preferred petroleum source, as it burns much more cleaner than conventional diesel fuel so it is safer for bystanders to breathe. Moreover, during its manufacturing phase, biodiesel tends to produce reduced emissions than the emissions standard petroleum fuel emits. Biodiesel is a fuel that is usually yellow in color with the shade of yellow changing from its source of production.




Biodiesel is basically made from corn, vegetables, rapeseed, soybeans, mustard, hemp, algae, palm oil and other vegetable and animal sources. Though it is claimed that biodiesel and raw vegetable oil are the same, it is not true. However, it is possible to manufacture biodiesel using the used vegetable oil found in restaurants.




Biodiesel is a fuel that can be produced at home, or bought at fuel stations selling alternative fuel with their standard fuel. If you manufacture biodiesel at home, it is important that you store it as you would store any other form of fuel. Most vehicles come with a warranty from the manufacturer on the use of biodiesel in the vehicle. And seldom will any modifications be needed on the vehicle to use biodiesel.




As biodiesel is registered and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, it is quite safe to use biodiesel as a form of fuel and its additive. When using biodiesel, you can use it in its pure form or by blending it with standard diesel fuel. Energy wise, you get the same amount of energy from biodiesel as you would from any standard diesel fuel
