Biodiesel and other “green” fuels are obliterating the world’s rainforests

July 08, 2021 - biodiesel

Over the past decade, Europe is estimated to have burned through more than 39 million tons of biodiesel derived just from palm and soy – there are many other sources of biodiesel as well.

Rapeseed (canola) is another source of biodiesel that like palm and soy requires large chunks of land in order to produce. Much of this land is being taken from virgin South American rainforests, which are being systematically destroyed to produce ...

More infrastructure sabotage? Air quality in Louisiana is being monitored after multiple explosions rock Dow Chemical Plant

July 19, 2023 - biodiesel plant explosion in Iowa that forced evacuations and injured 10 people. In Kansas, a large pipeline ruptured the same month, sending 588,000 gallons of diluted bitumen crude oil into the land and waterways; cleanup is expected to cost $480 million.

Startup hopes to convert chicken fat into biodiesel

Only a small fraction of U.S. biodiesel is currently made from chicken fat -- approximately 90 percent is made from soybean oil -- but Bagby may be getting in on the ground floor of a booming biodiesel ingredient as the cost of soybean oil starts to climb. Ostensibly, Bagby's plant will be able to produce about 3 million gallons of biodiesel a year using ...

Cocklebur seed oil may become an alternative biodiesel source

November 29, 2019 -

Researchers from Bozok University in Turkey looked at the potential of cocklebur seed oil as an alternative biodiesel source. Cocklebur is an annual wild plant species commonly found in Brazil, China, India, Malaysia, North Africa and North America.

The researchers proposed cocklebur as a raw material for biodiesel production because of its low cost, high oil content and low acid degree. It also endures various climate and soil conditions, so dry areas ...

Researchers find a non-toxic, green alternative for synthetic antioxidants in biodiesel production

January 02, 2019 - biodiesel. (Related: Scientists explore using sugarcane as alternative bio-jet fuel.)Karanja biodiesel fails to meet oxidation induction standards

Oxidative stability is the ability of a substance to stay stable even as it is being burned. A biofuel with good oxidative stability burns cleanly, leading to improved engine performance and cleaner emissions. On the other hand, a biodiesel with bad oxidative stability will clog up the engine and produce ...

Study: Demand for biodiesel in Europe has caused huge areas of forest land to disappear

July 13, 2021 -

The European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E) was behind the June 2021 study penned by Suren Rangaraju, an energy analyst at the organization. It said that the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), first introduced in 2010, set a 10 percent renewable energy target for transport by 2020 for each EU member state. This inadvertently drove up demand for cheaper crop-based biodiesel mainly sourced from Asia and South America.

Since 2010, Europe has burned ...

Can natural antioxidants be used to stabilize the properties of some biodiesels?

November 12, 2018 -

Biodiesel is one type of renewable fuel that's currently experiencing rapid growth in industrial countries. In the U.S. and Asia, the market for biodiesel is increasing in double digits, with countries like China and India leading the charge. The former, in particular, is aiming to have biodiesel replace petrodiesel by 15 percent in 2020. Australia, on the other hand, has seen a record-level increase in biodiesel consumption at 19 percent ...

Survival essentials: 9 Types of fuel you may need in your stockpile when SHTF

September 29, 2022 - biodiesel.

Note that only specialty engines can run on pure biodiesel. You can make a usable biodiesel fuel mixture by combining a large quantity of biodiesel with a smaller quantity of standard diesel fuel.

While efficient, biodiesel has one major shortcoming compared to standard types of diesel.

The organic compounds in biodiesel are vulnerable to degradation by different forms of microscopic life that ...

Blueprint: How to convert your vehicle to run on vegetable oil

May 08, 2019 - biodiesel, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Its chemical component is also like that of petroleum's. But unlike the latter, biodiesel burns cleaner and provides better mileage per gallon. Emission tests show that waste vegetable oil produces lower levels of carbon dioxide and particulate matter than diesel. It's also healthy for your car.

When running your car on vegetable oil, remember that you still need to start on ordinary diesel....
