BIO DIESEL ADVANTAGES

Advantage1.jpg

CO2 produced by combustion of bio diesel can circulate through photosynthesis, so the greenhouse effect is minimized.


Bio diesel has a very high flash point, volatility is low compared with fossil diesel, making it more safe in terms of storage and transport.

Compared with fossil diesel, bio diesel has many advantages in the combustion emissions, such as carbon monoxide, particle and unburned hydrocarbon emission is low.

Bio diesel is the only alternative fuel that runs in any conventional, unmodified diesel engine.

Bio diesel can be used alone or mixed in any ratio with diesel.

BIO DIESEL V FOSSIL DIESEL

Direct Comparison

BIO DIESEL

EN14214

  •  Diesel is produced from a process and is extracted from plant, seed and animal oils

  • Bio Diesel is renewable – A sustainable source of energy

  • Bio Diesel is environmentally friendly

  • European mandate is that all petrol pumps supplying Diesel must by law have a 5% Bio Diesel blend in the final product.

  • By 2020, this mandate will increase to 10%

  • Bio Diesel is sold at a premium above regular Diesel and also qualifies for a double counting premium (if produced from waste oils), making the selling price almost double that of regular Diesel

PETROLEUM DIESEL

Fossil Fuel

  • Diesel comes from Petroleum, a non-renewable byproduct of fossil fuel

  • Both Diesel and Bio Diesel can be used for fuel diesel vehicles, such as cars, trucks, tractors, powered lawn mowers and ships

  • Diesel is non-renewable – Uses up the Earth’s natural resources

  • Diesel is a pollutant

  • In the burning process, diesel emits high levels of soot and nitrogen, which translate into increased air pollution, smog, and high concentrations of acid in rainwater

  • Diesel also releases greenhouse gasses, such as carbon monoxide, which may contribute to global warming and ozone damage
