Biofuel

1853 by scientists, E. Duffy and J. Patrick, conducted the first transesterification of a vegetable oil, many years before the first diesel engine became fully functional.

The only biodiesel capable Ford engine is the new 2011 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8. With conservative driving, people have achieved 28mpg highway and 21mpg city. If you drive unconservatively and normal, you're looking at 21mpg highway and 16mpg city. Ford has really stepped it up. They are killing the competition now days.

Any plant that produces fat can be used to produce biofuel. The most common plants used are the oil seed plants such as corn, rape, sunflour soybean, palm etc.

More farmers started to make bio fuel crops rather than food crops. The bio fuel crops take resources such as land and water away from food crop production, which means that food crop prices may rise as demand rises.

Biodiesel has big potentials as alternative fuel such as eolic and sun energy.

A big obstacle for biodiesel is land productivity of actual plantations of vegetable oils.

Palm oil gives the best productivity but it is far too little to cover whole world population needs.

There are researches in algae oil production because algaes has an enormous productivity (per occupation of land) but production costs are far too high.

The history is a little vague; but the two prominent people who first "discovered" and applied bio-diesel were George Washington Carver and Rudolf Diesel.

Rudolf Diesel was the creator of the Diesel Engine and he ideally envisioned the diesel engine being used with a bio-fuel source. On a side note, he actually presented a diesel engine running on peanut oil in the Paris Exhibition in 1889.

George Washington Carver worked with Henry Ford to create a bio-diesel engine; however, at the time petrol-diesel was more easily accessible and cheaper than to produce a bio-diesel fuel source.

It burns at 210 degrees Celsius.

As much as I know it's about 68%

Electric

Biofuel comes from petroleum products which come from below the ground. Ethanol, however, the "bio" part of biofuels, comes from corn.

Burning biomass to make ethanol and bio-diesel.

bio kerosine is made from the catalytic cracking of bio diesel

Bio fuels are considered carbon neutral because they give off the same amount of carbon when burned that they absorb while growing. So, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), they don't pollute the environment by adding extra CO2 to the atmosphere.

As long as we choose to continue to grow the feedstocks involved, or until a better technology is invented.

No, it is not.

NO.

Biodiesel fuel is biodegradable, non toxic, is a renewable resource, emits less pollutants and fumes, and is economical. Because of the advantages it is easier on the environment and because it is non toxic with fewer fumes and pollutants it is safer to use around children.

1) It is environmentally friendly

2) It is made from renewable resources

carbon

Because they are a renewable source of energy such as solar energy and other different biofuels. They release carbon dioxide that was recently taken from the air, so they are part of the carbon cycle, unlike fossil fuels that add age-old carbon to the greenhouse gases.

The advantages of bio gas are that it produces less emissions and can be created faster than oil with less impact on the environment. A disadvantage would be how costly the cars that run on it are and the cost of the fuel itself it is also not widely available.
they can help put a stop to the global warming process but at the same time the disadvantages ar ethey are expensive and not always as reliable as the average fuel such as diesel and unleaded

Bio Diesel is made from soy beans. Ethanol is made from corn.

Biofuels can be used in any sort of internal combustion engine, like cars, trucks and ocean ships. It can also be used to power any furnace for heating, and any electricity-generating power plants.

Biofuel is renewable because the process that generates the fuel is ongoing. Trees can be regrown, sewage can be converted into methane, and oil and alcohol can be generated from various plants. Biofuel takes carbon dioxide from the air as the original vegetation grows, and returns it when burnt, so it has a neutral carbon footprint. It adds no greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
