Biofuel

One common aspect of biofuels is that they are derived from renewable biological materials, such as plants, agricultural residues, and waste. This allows them to be produced sustainably, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, biofuels can be used in existing internal combustion engines and infrastructure, making them a practical alternative energy source.

Biodiesel is considered better than petrol and conventional diesel primarily because it is derived from renewable resources, such as vegetable oils and animal fats, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. It produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to lower air pollution and a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, biodiesel can enhance engine performance and reduce engine wear, making it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative. Its biodegradability also helps minimize the risk of environmental contamination in case of spills.

no it can not

Not that I know of, but I managed to find the BIOS files here:

Just make sure you actually own a PS2 before you download it.

It depends on what you're trying to do with it. It produces fewer BTUs of heat than petrol does, so your fuel economy will be lower if you're using it as a motor fuel. Its flash point is higher than petrol's so it is safer to use as a solvent. If you want to make plastics, it's a different story: several plastics are made out of methanol, and none from petrol.

The answer is 1,2 kg for a density of 1,201 g/L.

The main component is ethanol.

Biomass is considered a renewable resource because the energy source will come from organic matter such as garbage or crop waste.

Yes. It involves replacing the fuel lines, fuel pump, and injectors. Be forwarned - you will lose performance with biodiesel.

Depends on what year/make/model of diesel.

For example the 6.7L Cummins used in the current Dodge truck can run 5% bio stock. It can run 20% bio with the addition of another water stripping fuel filter inline( a kit available from the dealer)

Here in central Illinois most ( if not all ) fuel stations sell a bio diesel blend that ranges between 5-15% due to tax breaks.

Biodiesel is made by vegetable oils to which methanol (or ethanol) and caustic soda (or potash soda) is added.

It can be mixed with petrol oil in different quantities. The most popular is biodiesel 98 which has 2% of vegetable oil. To further expand on the above answer. Biodiesel is only part of the biofuel family, which also includes the use of straight vegetable oil, ethanol for petrol cars etc. It is made by a chain reaction process called transesterification, whereby the molecular structure of vegatable oil is changed to form esters, which leave it much thinner and more like the viscosity of petro diesel. To make this reaction a mix of methanol [or sometimes other alcohols] and a predetermined amount of catalyst, usually sodium hydroxide[caustic soda] or pottasium hydroxide[potash] then on called methoxide, is used and processed under heated conditions to form biodiesel and a crude form of glycerine, which is drained from the fuel. The biodiesel is then cleaned by various methods, including water washing, the use of resins, or magnesium silicate to remove all traces of methanol, glycerol, caustic, and soap from the finished fuel, leaving us with a fuel that can be made from sustainable sources, or even waste veg oil, and a host of other fats and oils including animal fat and algie. The emmisions given off by the burning of biodiesel are considerably less than those of petro diesel. And in cases of spillage it is totally bio-degradable. Many European countries mix a small amount of it in standard low sulpher diesel, to help with climate change and help with the lubrication lost by removing the sulpher from modern fuel. biodiesel can be made in homebrew form in the UK, where 2500lts a year are allowed duty free. Help on this subject can be found on the vegoildiesel forum by goat industries, where I advise daily on problems relating to the manufacture and use of biodiesel.

Fuel is any material that is capable of releasing energy when its chemical or physical structure is altered. Fuel releases its energy either through chemical means, such as burning, or nuclear means, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. An important property of a useful fuel is that its energy can be stored to be released only when needed, and that the release is controlled in such a way that the energy can be harnessed to produce work. All carbon-based life forms-from microorganisms to animals and humans-depend on and use fuels as their source of energy. Their cells engage in an enzyme-mediated chemical process called metabolism that converts energy from food or solar power into a form that can be used to sustain life. Additionally, humans employ a variety of techniques to convert one form of energy into another, producing usable energy for purposes that go far beyond the energy needs of a human body. The application of energy released from fuels ranges from heat to cooking and from powering weapons to combustion and generation of electricity. Examples: Alcohol Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals. Gasoline or petrol Some well known alternative fuels include biodiesel, ethanol, butanol, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, methane, natural gas, vegetable oil, biomass, and peanut oil.

It breaks down 5 times quicker than 'normal diesel and it burns much more cleanly producing very little sulphur dioxide.

Yes wood is a biofuel because a biofuel is anything that you can burn which is made from living things or their waste products ... :) LOL x

(DarthBismarck) Edit:

There's a number of factories going up around the planet at the moment that will take wood in any form and compress it into 'pellets' of varying size to act as a clean alternative to coal. As opposed to the toxins and pollution thrown out by coal-fire generators, these wood pellets are carbon-neutral, meaning they only emit an amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to what the tree itself would release should it have been allowed to naturally decompose.

What's better, when used in this form, the wood used in these pellets could be, have been, and in many cases currently are, the leftovers, remnants, and waste products from any industry that makes use of wood, from sawmills to the pulp and paper industry - one is as good as the others.

bio fuel effectiveness is determened by the levels of sugars and starch, they are what really ferments. look up "fermentation" on google.

Factory-made biodiesel is sold as "B-such-and-such." The most common is B20. The number is the percentage of biodiesel in the mix--the rest is petroleum diesel. Answer: it works fine, go for it. As long as the bio diesel is clean and doesn't have water in it. it should be fine. Use caution with the home brew, filter it good and don't run more than 20% bio diesel below freezing without tank heaters it gells way too easy. There are several different types of bio diesel, make sure the kind you are going to use will work in in a factory fuel system or if you will need a kit installed on your vehicle to properly burn the fuel. Also, adding on to his answer, the first time you use the biodiesel you might want to change your fuel filter. The biodiesel will clean out your gas tank and may clog up your filter.

Yes Bio-fuels are renewable source of energy.

It is true that every mole of bio-fuel will yield loss less energy than burning regular fuel but important thing is bio-fuel don't produce harmful gases when burnt.

By improving technical know how we can make machinery that will run efficiently on bio-fuels.
