Biodieselinä
Biodiesel, also known as bio-diesel or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), is a renewable fuel produced from vegetable oils or animal fats. It is typically used as a substitute for conventional diesel fuel in compression-ignition engines. Biodiesel is produced through a chemical process called transesterification, where triglycerides (the main component of oils and fats) are reacted with an alcohol, usually methanol, in the presence of a catalyst. This process yields biodiesel and glycerol as byproducts.
Biodiesel is often blended with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel-diesel blend, which can be used in
Biodiesel offers several environmental benefits. It is biodegradable, non-toxic, and produces lower levels of harmful emissions,
However, biodiesel also has some drawbacks. It has a higher viscosity than petroleum diesel, which can lead
In summary, biodiesel is a renewable fuel with significant environmental advantages, but it also presents challenges
