WHAT IS BIODIESEL ?

Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animalfat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain

WHY BIODIESEL ?

Shortage of conventional energy source

Oil price increase about fivefold from 2003 to

2008, raising fears that world petroleumproduction is becoming unable to keep upwith demand.

Environmental condition

use of fossil fuel increase global warming to a

greater extent

Why?....

It's Economical

Biodiesel can be produced by individuals on asmall scale relatively inexpensively

It's Renewable

Biodiesel has been touted far and wide for it's

renewable properties

ItSupports FarmersWhen Biodiesel is made from organic oils such as

, Soy, Peanut, or other domestically grown seedcrops, it helps the farming community out.

It's Good For The Engine

Biodiesel, unlike Petro-diesel, has a much higher"lubricity" to it. This means that it's essentially"slipperier" than normal diesel fuel.With theadded "lubricity" of Biodiesel

WHERE TO USE?

Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard

diesel engines

Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended withpetro diesel.

SOURSES OF BIODIESEL..

rapeseed and soybean oils are most commonlyused, soybean oil alone accounting for aboutninety percent of all fuel stocks in the US. It alsocan be obtained from field pennycress and othercrops such as mustard, flax, sunflower, palm oil,coconut, hemp

Jetropha is one of the major crop used forbiodiesel production.

Animal fats including chicken fat and the by-products of the production of fish oil.
