  refers to a vegetable oil- or animal

fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain

greater extent
Why?....

ë 
ë

 
Biodiesel can be produced by individuals on a
small scale relatively inexpensively

ë 
 
Biodiesel has been touted far and wide for it's
renewable properties

hen Biodiesel is made from organic oils such as
, Soy, Peanut, or other domestically grown seed
crops, it helps the farming community out.

ë 





 
ë 
Biodiesel, unlike Petro-diesel, has a much higher
"lubricity" to it. This means that it's essentially
"slipperier" than normal diesel fuel. ith the

WHERE TO USE?

ë Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard

diesel engines
ë Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with
petro diesel.
ë The Royal Train in London on 15 September
2007 completed its first ever journey run on
100% biodiesel fuel supplied by Green Fuels
Ltd.
p



ë Green Flight International became the first

airline to fly jet aircraft on 100% biofuel

ë Virgin Atlantic successfully tested a biofuel blend

consisting of 20% coconut and 80% conventional
jet fuel.

Biodiesel can also be used as a heating fuel in
domestic and commercial boilers.
SOURSES OF BIODIESEL..

ë rapeseed and soybean oils are most commonly

used, soybean oil alone accounting for about
ninety percent of all fuel stocks in the US. It also
can be obtained from field pennycress and other
crops such as mustard, flax, sunflower, palm oil,
coconut, hemp
ë DzJetrophadz is one of the major crop used for
biodiesel production.
ë Animal fats including chicken fat and the by-
products of the production of fish oil.

ë illiamson Magors is cultivating Jetropha in

the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Mijoram,
Tripura and outer states like Jharkhand and
Urissa
ë illiamson has recently purchased 51 acre
land in the district of Tezpur for the
