Key Advantages
Biodiesel runs in any conventional, unmodified diesel engine.
It can be stored anywhere that petroleum diesel fuel is stored and mixed
in any ratio with diesel.
- Biodiesel reduces Carbon Dioxide emissions by up to 100% because it
is a renewable fuel. Carbon dioxide contributes to 50% of the Greenhouse
Effect.
- Biodiesel is more lubricating than diesel fuel, so it increases the
life of engines.
- Biodiesel is safe to handle because it is biodegradable and non-toxic.
- Biodiesel has a high flash point, or ignition temperature, of about
300 F compared to petroleum diesel fuel which has a flash point of 125
F. This means it's safer to transport.
- Auto ignition, fuel consumption, power output, and engine torque are
relatively unaffected by biodiesel. So basically, the diesel engine
just runs like normal.
