There has been much talk of biofuels and in particular biodiesel being touted as a more carbon friendly alternative to traditional petroleum based fuel Because biodiesel is made from renewable resources unlike fossil fuels and it has lower emissions compared to petroleum diesel Because it is.

What is the pollution of biodiesel. Nitrogen oxide emissions from burning a gallon of biodiesel may be slightly higher than emissions from. In the United States biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have successfully completed the Health Effects Testing requirements Tier I and Tier II of the Clean Air Act 1990. The maximum total carbon dioxide emission rate is found as 02405 10-3 kgkJ for the biodiesel fuel at 100 Nm engine torque and the minimum one is obtained as 01884 10-3 kgkJ for the diesel fuel at full load.

Biodiesel can reduce the direct tailpipe-emission of particulates small particles of solid combustion products on vehicles with particulate filters by as much as 20 percent compared with low-sulfur. Biodiesel contributes to environmental pollution. The vehicles run through the ignition of these fuels give out carbon dioxide CO 2 and other gases.

The emission of harmful chemicals in biodiesel is less than regular diesel. Therefore biodiesel is also known as eco-friendly. Biodiesel can reduce the direct tailpipe-emission of particulates small particles of solid combustion products on vehicles with particulate filters by as much as 20 percent compared with low-sulfur.

When the payback periods of the fuels are. Using existing data the EPAs biodiesel emissions analysis program sought to quantify the air pollution emission effects of biodiesel for diesel engines that have not been specifically modified to operate on biodiesel. The new models of vehicles have engines that can use both.

Pollution In the United States biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have successfully completed the Health Effects Testing requirements Tier I and Tier II of the Clean Air Act 1990. The Environmental Impacts of Use of Biodiesel The use of biodiesel as a fuel for a usual diesel engine ensures a significant reduction of tailpipe emissions including unburned hydrocarbons sulfates nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons carbon monoxide CO and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons US Department of Energy nd. Biodiesel can reduce the direct tailpipe-emission of particulates small particles of solid combustion products on vehicles with particulate filters by as much as 20 percent compared with low-sulfur 50 ppm diesel.

The maximum total carbon dioxide emission rate is found as 02405103 kgkJ for the biodiesel fuel at 100 Nm engine torque and the minimum one is obtained as 01884103 kgkJ for the diesel fuel at full load. Biodiesel is nontoxic and biodegradable. The EPA expects production and use to reach 28 billion gallons next year.
