biodiesel :)
Which of these is not a fossil fuel biodiesel diesel gas coal?
Biodiesel
Is biodiesel fossil fuel?
No, biodiesel is not a fossil fuel. It is a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled cooking greases.
Why does using biodiesel make your supplies of crude oil last longer?
If you are using bio fuel you are not using fossil fuel. Crude oil is a fossil fuel
What is a biodiesel?
A biodiesel is any variety of fuel for diesel engines made from renewable organic raw materials as opposed to fossil hydrocarbons.
How does biofuel release chemical energy?
As any fossil fuel biodiesel burn and release heat.
Can tractors be made to use biodiesel?
Biodiesel, made from vegetation and algae, is used for powering vehicles and machinery instead of using diesel, which is a fossil fuel causing global warming.
Explain why burning biodiesel fuel has a differen impact pn atmospheric CO2 concentrations than does burning fossil fuels?
Biodiesel contains carbon that was recently present in the atmosphere rather than fossil-fuel carbon that was in the atmosphere long ago and has been sequestered beneath Earth's surface. Hence the burning of biodiesel does not contribute to a net increase in the amount of carbon dioxide currently circulating in the atmosphere, whereas the burning of fossil fuel does contribute to a net increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Is fossil fuel diesel or biodiesel?
Diesel oil is a fossil fuel.Bio diesel oil is a renewable fuel that adds to carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases (it moves carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle).
Does biodiesel slow down global warming?
Yes, the use of biodiesel slows down global warming. Biodiesel fuel is carbon neutral, that is, it releases no more carbon dioxide into the air than it takes out. Using biodiesel means that a similar amount of fossil fuel diesel is not used, so that amount of carbon dioxide is not added to the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
How can biodiesel help the planet?
Biodiesel is replenishable where fossil fuels aren't. Biodiesel is made from biomass such as corn, rapeseed, sugarcane and even algae. The CO2 produced from burning biodiesel is indirectly reabsorbed by the plants that will make the next batch of biodiesel. Fossil fuels just release CO2.
Where can one find information on biodiesel fuel?
Wikipedia provides an excellent encyclopedia style article on biodiesel fuel. Other websites that offer information about biodiesel fuel are the U.S. Department of Energy's Biodiesel page and the National Biodiesel Board's page.
