What is Biodiesel? Biodiesel (Methyl Esters) is a diesel replacement fuel made from vegetable oils such as soy, canola, jatropa It is all natural and renewable It is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as fast as sugar Biodiesel is safe to store and has a high flash point Biodiesel requires no engine modification for newer engines and does not affect engine performance Biodiesel provides 3.2 times the energy out that is put in to making it. Petroleum Diesel provides < .7 Source: National Biodiesel Board (Fuel Fact Sheets) Khosla Ventures (last bullet)
Biodiesel is better for you and the environment The ozone forming potential of the hydrocarbon emissions is 50 percent less than that measured for diesel fuel Sulfur emissions are essentially eliminated with pure biodiesel The exhaust emissions of particulate matter from biodiesel are about 47 percent lower than overall particulate matter emissions from diesel Biodiesel reduces the health risks associated with petroleum diesel. Biodiesel emissions show decreased levels of polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons (PAH) and nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(nPAH), which have been identified as potential cancer causing compounds Source: National Biodiesel Board (Fuel Fact Sheets -emissions)
Other Advantages of Biodiesel Provides much greater lubricity = longer lasting engines Improves farm income Keeps jobs and dollars in the USA Can be moved using existing pipelines and infrastructure Positive carbon balance generates carbon credits ASTM approved for up to 20% in all diesel engines without voiding the warranty B100 works in all diesel engines provided the hoses are compatible (most are) Source: National Biodiesel Board (Fuel Fact Sheets)
