Biodiesel is safe to
handle and store and is biodegradable and non-toxic.
Biodiesel is made
from renewable resources.
Unlike virtually all
other alternative engine fuels, it can be used in unmodified engines. Diesel
engines can use pure biodiesel or any blend of biodiesel with conventional
petroleum-based diesel fuel.
Because fats
previously used in restaurants etc. may be used, the cost of biodiesel can be
far lower than that of petroleum diesel.
The net power output from
biodiesel is approximately 2% less than petroleum diesel.
(biodiesel is about 5-8% less energy dense than petroleum diesel, but its
greater lubricity and more complete combustion, offset that somewhat, leading
to an overall fuel efficiency about 2% less than petroleum diesel.)
The high cetane
numbers of biodiesel contribute to easy cold starting and low idle noise.
Emissions are lowered:
net
carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 100%
sulphur dioxide
(SO2) emissions by 100%
soot emissions by
40-60%
carbon monoxide
(CO) emissions by 10-50%
hydrocarbon (HC)
emissions by 10-50%
polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Exhaust odour
typical of petroleum diesel is replaced with the pleasant smell of a deep
fryer. Also described as the smell of popcorn, donuts or French Fries.
