Biofuel

Biofuels are fuel made from any plant or animal based products. Two traditional biofuels are wood and corn. Biofuels are renewable sources of energy.

Yes! it does!

Even with the engine warmed the smell is still very noticeable.

It is related to the feedstock used, if oil-based feedstock is used then it will smell like "french fries".

If the feedstock is animal-based fat then it will smell like "pork" or "beef".

At least on my 1.9 TDi with catalytic converter.

Biodiesel emissions are much cleaner than emissions from conventional diesel. Carbon dioxide is reduced by 90%, sulphur by 100%, carbon monoxide by 10-50%, and hydrocarbons by 10-50%. The only emissions that increase are nitrous oxide emissions. However, this is counteracted by your catalytic converter. So the answer is no, boidiesel will not clog your catalytic converter.

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.

Fish oil needs an acid pretreatment because of the high %FFA. Then it needs drying and sometimes dewaxing. After this a standard biodiesel reaction with caustic soda will convert the fish oil into biodiesel. More you can read at: http://www.greenerpro.com/BiodieselProcess.html

Who ever posted the last answer was wrong. Ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, is the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. Its structure is CH3CH2OH. It has many uses such as a fuel additive, an industrial solvent, or as a starting ingredient in many consumer goods.

Energy demand has been increasing steadily alongside the event of the state. Insight of restricted typical energy sources and their restricted exploitation and increasing, environmental pollution production of energy support new and renewable energy sources and are being given high priority and promotion. New and bigger chances are high that change into apparent to participate within the thought of energy production. Along-with biomass and little hydro-electricity the ways in which area unit being paved for the institution of major comes to support MW solar power. Add the State is being doled out towards grid connected alternative energy Generation and topside power generation. Doubtless, currently, we tend to area unit moving towards the goal that was envisaged at the time of formation of the agency. In April month 1983 Uttar Pradesh Government made come into Non-conventional Energy Development Agency under the divisions of an organization of also additional energy sources as an autonomous institution. The organization has been giving a different name as "Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency ( UPNEDA ) ".From the start, the instrument is also working as a nodal 1 instrument for putting into effect mixed, of different sorts of designs within the state.

Efforts area unit being created to develop the capability in renewable energy sources like solar power, small-scale hydroelectricity and biomass-based electricity production within the state. Numerous capability alternative energy plants area unit being put in for electricity generation from solar power. Biomass-based co-generation within the state sugar mills and rice husk based-electricity generation comes area unit being inspired. Additionally to the current, small-scale hydro electrical comes area unit being enforced together with non-public entrepreneurs.

yes

If it's a space heater - don't use diesel if it's dyed.

More than 150 years.

Production of biodiesel from vegetable oil was first done in 1853 by scientists E. Duffy and J. Patrick. Forty years later, Rudolf Diesel's first engine ran for the first time in Augsburg, Germany, on 10 August 1893 using peanut oil as biodiesel.

Biodiesel can be bad for your engine because it is a mild solvent. It dissolves elastomers and rubber parts like fuel lines and found in the injectionpump. Blending with diesel helps to prevent this.

There is no such thing really as strictly a "bio-diesel" engine. ANY diesel engine can burn bio-diesel. ANY diesel engine can ...in fact...right this minute, burn used cooking oil straight out of the fryer. It is more a matter at this point of having a supply of bio derived diesel and an infrastructure to blend/produce and distribute it. There is a technical issue in that the currently available bio-diesel causes carbon buildup in the engines it is used in, resulting in poorer performance, lower fuel mileage, and higher maintenance costs that negate the benefits of using bio-diesels in the first place. This is because the additives used in regular production diesel that keep carbon buildup to a minimum, lubricate the fuel system and do other beneficial tasks are diluted or are non-existent in most of the currently available bio-diesels. This will become less of a problem when the aforementioned production facilities are more common.

Bio fuels are made from natural oils. These oils include, palm, soybean, and algae. Wood can also be made into a liquid bio fuel.

A: BioFuels are a sub-set of Bioenergy, and refer to those bioenergy products that are in liquid form, and hence suitable for mobile fuel uses (such as petrol replacements). Examples of biofuels are ethanol and bio-diesel. Bioenergy usually refers to non-liquid energy outputs such as electricity and heating.

The banana peel can be an alternative source of biodiesel. It has the properties which enables it to compensate with the standard we use.

ofcourse it is

Biodiesel has been controversial. I've include 4 links that explain the issues with biodiesel and biofuels in general.

First, the pros

1. It works. A mix of diesel and biodiesel may be necessary on some cars. It can be used in buses and trains. Use of biodiesel has been increasing.

2. We have a limited supply of fossil fuels. The ability to "grow our energy" extends the lifetime of our natural resources.

3. Biodiesel burns cleaner than regular diesel, based on particulates from tail-pipe emissions (see wikipedia link on environmental problems).

4. We must import oil, and this creates a dependence on other countries. It would be devastating to our economy if any country cut us off from this supply. So, biodiesel adds to our energy security.

5. Adding to the supply of fuels should help moderate prices of these fuels by making them less scarce commodities.

6. Biodiesel is good for farmers around the world. It is an additional crop they can grow.

Now, the cons,

1. Converting crops into biofuels will mean that less of there will be less available produce to feed people. This drives up the price of food. One crop in particular is soybeans, which is used as animal feedstock. So as soybeans become more valuable to make fuels, meat prices will increase.

2. Biodiesel (or more generally biofuels) means that there will be extensive deforestation in tropical areas such as the Amazon rainforest to grow sugar cane and soybeans for biofuels. This will have a large impact on environment and CO2 emissions. CO2 pollution is linked to global warming. Thus some environmentalists are calling biodiesel a worse alternative than natural diesel.

3. The increase in palm oil farms in Asia has lead to use of pesticides and contamination of drinking water supplies. (see wikipedia link)

4. Biodiesel is not a cleaner fuel to burn. It produces 10% more nitrogen oxide tail pipe emissions than diesel. (see Wikipedia link on environmental issues).

5. Promoters of biofuels have created a false impression of an easy solution to energy needs. Due to all the problems they cause, these fuels can not satisfy our needs.

I suggest that you read through the links provided. Perhaps there are more pros and cons. Certainly, the question of whether biodiesel burns cleaner is a difficult one.

Good luck!

Biodiesel is less pollutive.

It is safer to handle

:(

It is more expensive at the moment

Not approved by all auto dealers

no it only releases carbion dieoxcide

it is made by mixing sugar, water, fungai and fur.

"Best" is debatable; sometimes other energy sources are more practical or more useful. Solar energy can be effective in areas where the weather is usually clear and where there isn't a problem in covering the surface with solar cells. Some examples would be roof areas in sunny climates, or in the desert where the land values are low.

Bad areas for solar would be in rainy climates or high latitude areas where the Sun is at a low elevation in the sky.

Solar power is also unsuitable as the primary power source for vehicles, as they are generally too small to collect enough power, and often need to travel at night or in bad weather when the Sun is hidden.

In general, there is no one "best" power source for every use.
