Biofuel

Biofuels are a source of energy derived from living organisms that have not been extracted from sequestered reserves in the earth and whose natural emissions have a neutral impact on the environment.

Why is hydroelectric geothermal and biofuel energy called renewable?

Hydroelectric power comes from rivers that are replenished from precipitation. Geothermal energy, though not specifically renewable will not run out within the next few billion years. And biofuels are produced from vegetable matter that can be regrown.

* Geothermal energy is actually partly replenished as a result of gravitational forces from the orbits of the Earth and moon tidally flexing the Earth and producing heat from friction.

What are problems with biodiesel?

There can be various problems with biodiesel these problems can be caused by storage conditions, manufacturing flaws, or contamination. Biodiesel is an excellent cleaner and will remove deposits from your tank, it can unblock fuel filters and injectors. There are few problems associated with biodiesel meeting astm specifications.

Are biofuels the future?

Yes and no. They are an important step to completely sustainable energy use throughout the world. Virtually all energy on our planet comes, in one form or another, from the sun. Once we have learned to efficiently and sustainably harvest this energy, biofuels may eventually be phased out. But they will continue their importance for a time yet as we continue to phase out the use of fossil fuels.

What is a bio data?

Biodata is biographical data. A sample is where you went to school, the jobs you have had, clubs you joined, your medical history, where you were born, who you are married to, and anything that has to do with your life's history and present.

Does using biodiesel add extra carbon dioxide into the air?

No. Burning biofuel of any kind emits carbon that was recently removed from the atmosphere. So this is part of the natural carbon cycle. (Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) add extra carbon dioxide because they release emissions that have been underground for 300 million years.)

How much does a 1 MW solar farm cost?

A 1 MW solar farm would cost in the 4-5 million range.

Is bio-diesel renewable or non-renewable?

Biodiesel and all biofuel is renewable. It can be made again because the vegetation and algae it comes from can all grow again.

What is an example of a biofuel?

An example of a biofuel would be ethanol. A biofuel is anything that is organic, and can be grown by humans on a mass scale. Other examples are peanut oil and lamp oil.

Is bio fuel OK for Renault Kerax 420 dci common rail diesel engine?

i wouldnt go near a high pressure fuel system with bio you will damage the pump and injectors

How does biofuel work?

Biofuel is any kind of oil (vegetable oil) or organic burnable material (biomass) that is not fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas). Biofuel is renewable because it comes from plants or algae that grew recently, and removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while growing. When burnt, this carbon dioxide (CO2) is returned to the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle, making biofuel carbon-neutral. So it does not contribute to global warming.

What is the differences between bio fuel and fossil fuel?

Bio-fuel is produced directly from plant matter typically corn, sugar cane, sugar beets, or cellulose transforming it into alcohol. Fossil fuels are produced by either the decomposition of plant or animal matter over long periods of time under certain conditions such as high temperature and pressure. Fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas.

How to save nature?

Stop using much electricity, and recycle as much as possible.

What are the advantages of biomass energy?

it does away with garbage and keeps it out of landfills.

however it causes pollution

Can you use biodiesel in a mack truck engine?

Yes... it's generally better to use it in a pre-EPA2010 engine, and know also that you'll probably need to replace your fuel filters shorty after switching to biodiesel, as it has a detergent effect which releases the sediment at the bottom of the fuel tanks. Be aware also that with a full biodiesel solution you'll experience a 12 - 20% decrease in BTUs produced, meaning less power.

What is biodiesel made of and what uses it?

Biodiesel is a more earth friendly fuel for vehicles if it is combined and used properly. Typically biodiesel is made from vegatable oil, soybeans(in the United States) and animal fats.

Has anyone used biodiesel in a Renault megane 1.9dci 120 around 53 reg?

you dont really wont to use 100% biodiesel on this vehicle i would suggest 10% max as more could damage injectors always ensure the filling station is biofuel regestered

Can you create biofuel in school lab?

You can create biofuel anywhere. All you need is used cooking oil or lard.

Why is Biomass considered carbon neutral?

Biomass is considered carbon neutral because it gives off the same amount of carbon when burned that it absorbed while growing. So, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), it doesn't pollute the environment by adding extra CO2 to the atmosphere.

Is biodiesel green?

no.... biodiesel is amber or golden in color and smells like french fries

How accessible is biofuels?

  1. Biofuels is always availabale as it comes from pig faeces which is always availabel 24-7 is incorrect. Biofuels come from cow faeces and sometimes even human faeces.
  2. Scientists are also trialing flatus capture apparatuses for Pigs, Cows and sheep. If they can harness there methang we can maybe use it as fuel.

How are cars powered by biofuel?

The same as regular fuels, Some parts normally need changing, (fuel rail materials, injector sizes, PCM/ECU programming,etc.)

What are the raw material of Philippines?

Abaca, bamboo, bakbak, coir, pandan, rattan and ugpay are some of the natural resources that Philippines have. These have been the primary components of the products made by the country.
