Biodiesel Oil

B100 Biodiesel(Palm methyl ester) is a clean burning alternative fuel made from renewable resources. The most common process uses transesterification whereby methyl esters are produced from fats and oils, yielding biodiesel, a non-toxic, biodegradable fuel that can be burned in diesel engines, and glycerin, which can be used in industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it is usually mixed with petroleum diesel fuel and sold as, for example, 'B2', 'B5' and 'B10' to reflect the percentage of biodiesel (2%, 5%, 10%) included in the mix. It is also used alone as a diesel fuel, called ‘B100’. Bio diesel b-100-as per bis-15607 with high cetane and low pour point and freezing point available in bulk on regular basis best green fuel having high calorie value for all type of industry also to overcome emission with carbon and sulphur.

Biodiesel Oil is an alternative fuel similar to conventional or ‘fossil’ diesel. Biodiesel can be produced from straight vegetable oil, animal oil/fats, tallow and waste cooking oil. The process used to convert these oils to Biodiesel is called transesterification. This process is described in more detail below. The largest possible source of suitable oil comes from oil crops such as rapeseed, palm or soybean. In the UK rapeseed represents the greatest potential for biodiesel production. Most biodiesel produced at present is produced from waste vegetable oil sourced from restaurants, chip shops, industrial food producers such as Birdseye etc. Though oil straight from the agricultural industry represents the greatest potential source it is not being produced commercially simply because the raw oil is too expensive. After the cost of converting it to biodiesel has been added on it is simply too expensive to compete with fossil diesel. Waste vegetable oil can often be sourced for free or sourced already treated for a small price. (The waste oil must be treated before conversion to biodiesel to remove impurities). The result is Biodiesel produced from waste vegetable oil can compete with fossil diesel. More about the cost of biodiesel and how factors such as duty play an important role can be found here.

Benefits of Biodiesel Oil

• Biodiesel has many environmentally beneficial properties. The main benefit of biodiesel is that it can be described as ‘carbon neutral’. This means that the fuel produces no net output of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2).
• This effect occurs because when the oil crop grows it absorbs the same amount of CO2 as is released when the fuel is combusted. In fact this is not completely accurate as CO2 is released during the production of the fertilizer required to fertilize the fields in which the oil crops are grown.
• Fertilizer production is not the only source of pollution associated with the production of biodiesel, other sources include the esterification process, the solvent extraction of the oil, refining, drying and transporting. All these processes require an energy input either in the form of electricity or from a fuel, both of which will generally result in the release of green house gases. To properly assess the impact of all these sources requires use of a technique called life cycle analysis. Our section on LCA looks closer at this analysis.
• Biodiesel is rapidly biodegradable and completely non-toxic, meaning spillages represent far less of a risk than fossil diesel spillages. Biodiesel has a higher flash point than fossil diesel and so is safer in the event of a crash.

Biofuel Oil are fuels that are derived from living organisms or organic material such as plants, molasses, animal fat, oils, used cooking grease, and even algae

• These are liquid fuels that are renewable, they can easily be reused and replaced in a short amount of time
• Renewable energy sources need not always be “green”; the biofuels are renewable energy but they are not always green i.e. environmental-friendly
• We humans have been using fossil fuels from ancient times, when coal was used for various purposes. Eventually the reserves of fossil fuels are going to be exhausted and we would have to move towards an alternative. That alternative is biofuels
• Biofuels were considered for use as back as 1970s. Till the 2000s, biofuels saw a rise in their usage which was supported by various policies introduced to facilitate their use
• However, during the world food price, the use of biofuels decreased and the policies supporting them were withdrawn as well. But due to their potential and deficiency of evidence, proving their impact on food prices, and an urge to solve the environmental crisis, they are bound to see an upsurge in their use in the coming decades For instance, India has decided that by 2021, 10% of the total energy or transportation fuel should come from biofuels.
