Can biodiesel be used just like diesel?
A. Biodiesel can be used to displace petroleum-based fuel in diesel engines, which account for approximately 22% of the fuel consumed in the transportation sector (EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2006 – available: http://www.doe.eia.gov/aeo2006/). It can be also be used in other combustion equipment (e.g., boilers and heaters) as a replacement for petroleum distillate oil fuels.
