An environmental benefit of using bio diesel as an additive to petroleum-based diesel is a reduction in harmful emissions such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes, which are responsible for the health hazards and pollution associated with combustion of petroleum-based fuels.

Benefits of biodiesel?

Biodiesel improves public health and the environment, and provides safety benefits. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions better than gasoline, ethanol, and conventional diesel.


Is biofuel good for the environment?

Generally I would say that it is good for the environment. The biodiesel reduces the emissions of carbon dioxide 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. In fact, there are venture capitalist investing large amount of money on biofuels. Read more, click the link.

Biofuel is organic, cheap, good for the environmet, and made from plants grown here in the US.

All in all they both have their advantages and disadvantages.


Is it safe to mix diesel and biodiesel?

Yes it is safe to mix petroleum diesel and biodiesel. Blends of biodiesel and petroleum diesel are designated "BX." Where "B" states that the fuel mixture is a biodiesel blend and "X" indicates the percentage of biodiesel in the blend. For example, common blends of biodiesel in North America include B2 (2% biodiesel), B5(5%), B20(20%), and B100(100%). B100 is also know as "neat," or pure, biodiesel.


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.


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.


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.
