biodieselis a natural, reewable fuel wich can be used in diesel engines.?

Answer 1

There are a few different varients of biodiesel. First of all it can be fresh vegitabel oil or strained waste vegetable oil from fryalators. The waste oil is not recomended for newer high performance engines such as Volkswagen TDI engines or the new Mercedes diesel engine. It is, however, fine for the larger and gererally less sophistacted truck engines. Also, biodiesel can be either straight vegetable oil, a mix of vegetable oil and conventional diesel, or a mix of vegetable oil, lye, and something else. I actually attended a demonstartion in college where someone did this mixing process in a blender and then we all went out to his VW passat and poured it in. The car ran fine and smelled more of french friens than the traditional offensive diesel smell. This process also produces a soap very similar to Neutragena as a by-product If you want to run straight vegi oil and you live in a cooler climate you need to add a heating system to your fuel tank and lines because vegi oil freezes or gells at higher temps than conventional levels. If you mix it you can run it in any diesel engine. The original diesel engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel to run off of vegetable oil, but was later switched to run off of petroleum products because at the time they were much less expensive.

Just as a note to the above person I would love to know how they design, build, and install windmills, explore the ocean and set up machines to capture its energy, or drill into the earth for geothermal without using energy. No energy is free, but if you used biodiesel to fuel the machinery to farm fields and organic fertilizers this could be completely renewable and have no net carbon dioxide emissions.

Answer 2

Bio diesel refers to the diesel substitute oils produced from vegetable plants like jatropha etc. The oil source is renewable since the plants keep growing and can be replanted. The carbon dioxide released into the air is recovered by the plant when it grows. So, it is a renewable source of energy.

Answer 3

Yes. It is a renewable source of energy made from seeds of a vegetation in the form of oil as equivalent of diesel.

Answer 4

Bio-diesel is the leftover frying fat from fast food restaurants. The more bio diesel we use, the more fried foods we'll need to consume. The more fried foods we need to consume, the more money we'll give to greedy corporations who don't care about our health! When enough people have died by heart-related problems after eating all those fried foods, the fewer people there will be around. The environment will clean itself up naturally afterward, and there will be so much excess land that more people will go back to farming. Then there will be more food available for horses, and we'll all go back to using horses for transportation.

Answer 5

No.

Biodiesel is not natural. It is produced using artificial fertilizers and machines running diesel and gasoline.

Biodiesel is not renewable. It uses up 2 or 3 gallons of diesel or gasoline to produce each gallon of biodiesel.

Biodiesel is POLITICAL. Agriculture businesses getting government subsidies want more subsidies to grow biodiesel, so they give pricing that assumes the government is paying most of their costs.

Geothermal energy is natural and renewable.

Wave motion energy is natural and renewable.

Solar energy is natural and renewable.

Wind energy is natural and renewable.

Any energy source that requires plowing fields, spreading petroleum-based fertilizers, weeding, harvesting, processing and blending is NOT 'natural' and CERTAINLY not sustainable (gives more than it takes) or renewable (costs less to make than to produce).

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Yes. It is made from vegetable oil.

Answer 7

waste vegetable oil
