Biodiesel, the new energy revolution

Released on = August 1, 2006, 6:57 pm

Press Release Author = Biodiesel

Industry = Environment

Press Release Summary = Biodiesel is quickly gaining popularity as an alternative
energy source. It burns clean and utilizes existing waste products, what could be
better?

Press Release Body = Fuels are the energy-boosters for vehicles. Without it no
automobile can run on the road. But these fuels have always been a major factor in
pollution problem. That is why alternative fuels or eco-friendly fuels have been
discovered. See http://www.biodieselscience.com
Biodiesel is one of them. It is equivalent to diesel, which is derived from
biological sources. It is a non-toxic, eco-friendly processed fuel, and can be used
in vehicles having diesel-driven engine. It is useful as it has less emission than
petroleum and diesel. It can also possibly be used in the place of fossil fuels.
Biodiesel looks like a dark yellow colored fluid and is light. It easily gets
immersed in water and thus has low density than water, and possess high boiling
point with low vapor pressure. It is also non-flammable.
Several countries in the world now prefer biodiesel in their cars than other fuels
and thus are also producing them. Australia. Canada Germany, India Spain, United
Kingdom, United States, Brazil are some of the countries that produce biodiesel.
Biodiesel has many environmental benefits that make it very resourceful.
1. It produces less emission of carbon monoxide (CO) and Carbon dioxide (CO2).
2. It contains less aromatic hydrocarbons like benzofluoranthene.
3. It reduces the emission of small particles of solid combustion products.
4. It can produce more nitrogen oxide (NO).
5. Sulphur content in biodiesel is low than that of others.
6. It ignites more quickly than other fuels, when added to the engine.
Biodiesel is prepared from hydrocarbon oil or fats. The most common ingredient used
in its making is fresh soybean oil. Other things that are used for its production
are mustered seed oil and waste vegetable oil.
These oils are mixed, mainly with methanol and sodium hydroxide or potassium
hydroxide, which acts as a catalyst and then filtered. The product produce is
biodiesel and glycerol. It can be used in two ways- directly that is in pure form or
with petroleum.
Biodiesel is gradually becoming the favorite all over the world for its eco-friendly
nature as today\'s world is facing the problem of pollution.
Moreover, it is also free from those additional problems that are common in case of
fuels like petroleum diesel, and thus can be said that in the coming years it can be
the world\'s primary energy source for transports. For this reason many companies are
becoming interested in commercial level production of biodiesel for its good
business prospect
Apart from this biodiesel is still a subject of research. Different researchers are
working on it to discover other positive aspects of such a valuable product.
