Biodiesel Info
Pure bio diesel fuel is available in some gas stations in Germany, and also other European countries. And many manufactures are supporting the use of bio diesel in their cars. Yet there are some manufacturers who do not accept bio diesel as fuel. They instead encourage mixing 30 % bio diesel to ordinary diesel and that can be used to run the car. Bio diesel can also be produced from algae, vegetable oils; animal fats etc and it can be easily manufactured locally in any country. You can use pure bio diesel or use it mixed with petrol or diesel to run the vehicles. It is proved that bio diesel also reduces engine's wear and tear.
It is mostly used in European countries at present. We all hear about global warming and the number of natural calamities that are attributed due to global warming, as global warming is increasing due to pollution. Well, bio diesel can also help control air pollution. The petrol and diesel are the main fuels used worldwide.They produce many harmful gases like carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide. All of these gases pollute the atmosphere. There is really only one alternative to this problem. The bio diesel is a natural and very clean burning fuel that does not pollute the air. Bio diesel is prepared using vegetable oils and animal fats. The vegetable oil used varies from country to country. USA uses Soya bean oil, France uses local sunflower oil and Malaysia uses palm oil to produce bio diesel. India uses both edible and non edible oils like neem oil, castor oil, rice bran oil etc. since they are cheap and effective. Bio diesel is a non toxic and bio degradable product. It greatly reduces the serious air pollutants caused by petrol and ordinary diesel. This then reduces the risk of cancer and birth defects. Jatropha curcas is an oil plant that can also be used to produce bio diesel. Although there are many oil plants that can be used to produce bio diesel Jatropha curcas has proved more effective than most. This is because the plant grows fast and it survives well in draught season. You can use the seed for extracting fuel and also the remaining parts like leaf, barks etc for other industrial and pharmaceutical purposes. You can use bio diesel to run your vehicle without any modifying of the vehicle. The advantage is that bio diesel is an agriculture oriented fuel. As there is decrease in petroleum product the world can switch over to bio diesel quite easily. This will also help in leaving a clean earth to our children, and their children.
