Biodiesel

Biodiesel be form of diesel fuel dem get from plants anaa animals wey dey consist of long-chain fatty acid esters. Wey typically dem make by chemically reacting lipids lyk animal fat (tallow), soybean oil, anaa sam oda vegetable oil plus alcohol, wey dey produce methyl, ethyl anaa propyl ester by de process of transesterification.Murzin, Dmitry Yu.; Mäki-Arvela, Päivi; Simakova, Irina L.

Unlike de vegetable den waste oils dem take use to fuel diesel engines dem convert, biodiesel e be drop-in biofuel, wey eget dey mean as ebe compatible plus existing diesel engines den distribution infrastructure. Howeva, dem take mix plus petrodiesel (typically to less dan 10%) since chaw engines no fi run for pure biodiesel top widout modification.Omidvarborna; et al. (December 2014).
