Biodiesel made from oil seed plants grown on cropland cannot possibly hope to replace petro-diesel in the foreseeable future: there simply isn’t enough land. Biodiesel, instead, could be seen as one part of a larger plan to reduce air pollution, carbon emissions, and dependence on fossil fuels. Energy crops can also be an important source … Read More

Biodiesel can be produced from a wide variety of oilseed crops and animal fats. In Europe, rapeseed oil is the major biodiesel feedstock. In the United States, soybeans are the dominant biodiesel feedstock. Soybeans Soybeans produce approximately 1.5 gallons of oil per bushel. U.S. farmers produced a record-breaking yield in 2009 of 44 bushels per acre. This … Read More

Biodiesel facts Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil or animal fat (triglycerides) reacted with methanol or ethanol and a catalyst (lye), yielding biodiesel (fatty acid methyl or ethyl esters) and glycerin as a by-product. It can be used in any diesel engine without modifications — diesel engines run better and last longer with biodiesel. And … Read More

In 2004, the United States used an average of 20 million barrels of oil per day, which is one-fourth of the 80 million barrels pumped per day worldwide. The worldwide pumping capacity is near the predicted peak with an anticipated decline in peak capacity within the next decade or several decades. Today, the U.S. imports … Read More

  Main introduce Biodiesel concept: Biodiesel is a clean and renewable energy, it is based on biomass resources as a raw material to process a diesel (liquid fuel), the main chemical composition is fatty acid methyl ester. Specifically, animal and vegetable oils, such as rapeseed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, rice bran oil, … Read More

Biodiesel mainly consists of three elements, C, H and 0. As an alternative fuel of diesel, biodiesel should meet the use requirements of diesel to ensure its use as a fuel. Therefore, the evaluation of whether biodiesel can be used as a substitute fuel for diesel oil should first depend on whether it has similar … Read More

Biodiesel is a combination of biomass energy and traditional fossil energy, and can be partially regenerated. While diesel is fossil energy, it can not be regenerated. Biodiesel is a biofuel that is considered environmentally friendly, prepared from unprocessed or used vegetable oils and animal fats through different chemical reactions. This biofuel can be used like diesel. The … Read More

Renewable diesel is a hydrocarbon diesel fuel produced from renewable feedstocks. Today, all renewable diesel on the market is, like biodiesel, produced from fats and oils. That the way of these fats and oils are reacted into fuels is the defining difference between biodiesel and renewable diesel. As discussed above, biodiesel is primarily made through esterification. Renewable diesel is produced … Read More

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from biomass. Most U.S. biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. Biodiesel can be used in the same equipment as diesel fuel made from petroleum. The major sources of feedstock (raw material) for making biodiesel in the United States and their shares of total biodiesel feedstocks in 2017 … Read More
