How is Brazil becoming a desert?

There are no deserts there and It will never become a desert. Brazil is the greenest place on earth, most of the energy is renewable (hydropower, biodiesel & ethanol). The largest rainforest in the world is there. There are smaller forests everywhere. It has the largest availability of freshwater in the world; Sustainable farming techniques; Advanced farming technology. And much more.


What are the disadvantages of synthetic fuels?

it kills your gas mileage and hurts your engine more than some idiots might think. my advice? don't use ethanol or biodiesel or any of that crap. just go with regular unleaded ethanol-free gasoline


Is Brazil known for its large sugarcane crop?

Brazil is today the largest producer of cane sugar in the world. Its products are widely used in sugar production, and more recently ethanol, biodiesel.


Why is methanol rather than ethanol preferred for transesterification in the refining of soybean oil to make biodiesel?

May be because it gives more volatile esters, easy to separate or concentrate or strip off.


Can you use biodiesel on your John Deere 4850?

B5 or 5% biodiesel would be the limit I would use in any tractor at least at the current level of biodiesel formulations. In the winter biodiesel does cause more problems so be more careful.


Why is coal sustainable?

It's not sustainable. To be sustainable, humans (or nature itself) must be able to continually produce as much or more of any given product or activity. Solar energy is a good example of sustainable energy, since we can never use it all up. Plant-based ethanol is another example, because we can always produce more by growing more of the crops out of which it's made. Once we mine all the coal, there will be no more and no way to make more.


What is a biodiesel processor?

A machine which mixes methanol and lye with your waste vegetable oil in the biodiesel making process. Pictures are worth more than words. For more information and how to purchase from the leader in biodiesel processors please visit


What are the advantages of bio diesell?

doesn't work well in cold temperatures BIODIESEL ADVANTAGES: Biodiesel is an alternative fuel to standard fossil fuels that can be made from fats and vegetable oils. It contains no petroleum or petroleum-products. If made correctly, it can be used in diesel engines with few or no modifications. DISADVANTAGES The main issue is producing biodiesel in a sustainable way. This means an emphasis on agricultural practices that do not use rainforests. Some Biofuels are more harmful than others. Rapeseed may produce more CO2 than fossil

What is biodiesel made of and what uses it?

Why don't more people use biodiesel in their diesel trucks?

It would be great if more people used biodiesel in the diesel trucks! However, at least in Michigan, you can not legally sell the biodiesel you make at home and many people do not want to put the time and effort into making it themselves. There are a few negatives to using biodiesel in diesel trucks. First, there is limited availability of biodiesel fuel. Next, the cost is much higher for biodiesel. Also, fuel economy is off by at least 10%. Additionally, biodiesel may be a concern in cold weather and in older vehicles.


Is bio diesel really good for the environment?

The biodiesel reduces the emissions of carbon monoxide by over 50 percent, driving down the pollution in the air. That is because the biodiesel emissions are from recycled carbon that was already in the atmosphere. The biodiesel also has a lot less hydrocarbons. With the biodiesel there is a 71 percent decrease in benzopyrenes.It is proven that biodiesel fuel can reduce as much as 20 percent of the direct tailpipe emission. The fuel also makes up between 10 and 25 percent more nitrogen oxide that are the tailpipe emissions than regular petrodiesel. Biodiesel has a higher cetane rating than the regular diesel fuel and the benefit of that would be that the car starts quicker with the biodiesel fuel than the standard.
