Biodiesel/Biofuels Market Research Reports

Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animal fat-based diesel gas consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, propyl or ethyl) esters. Biodiesel is often made by chemically reacting lipids (e.g., vegetable oil, animal fat (tallow)) with an alcohol producing fatty acid esters.

Biodiesel is supposed for use in normal diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to gas converted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petro diesel. Biodiesel can be used as a low carbon different to heating oil.

The National Biodiesel Board (USA) additionally has a technical definition of "biodiesel" as a mono-alkyl ester. n 2005, Chrysler (then a part of DaimlerChrysler) launched the Jeep Liberty CRD diesels from the factory into the American market with 5% biodiesel blends, indicating at the least partial acceptance of biodiesel as an acceptable diesel fuel additive. In 2007, DaimlerChrysler indicated its intention to extend guarantee coverage to 20%...

In 2007, DaimlerChrysler indicated its intention to extend guarantee coverage to 20% biodiesel blends if biofuels quality in the United States may be standardized.

The Volkswagen Group has launched a statement indicating that a number of its vehicles are appropriate with B5 and B100 comprised of rape seed oil and suitable with the EN 14214 standard. The usage of the desired biodiesel kind in its vehicles won't void any warranty.

Beginning in 2004, town of Halifax, Nova Scotia decided to update its bus system to permit the fleet of city buses to run totally on a fish-oil based biodiesel. This triggered town some initial mechanical points, but after a number of years of refining, the entire fleet had efficiently been converted.

In 2007, McDonalds of UK introduced it might start producing biodiesel from the waste oil byproduct of its restaurants. This gas could be used to run its fleet.
