What are the advantages of biodiesel?
Biodiesel is biodegradable and nontoxic, and it results in improved lubricity, zero aromatics and minimal sulfur. In addition, biodiesel is a renewable energy alternative, reduces dependence on petroleum, has a high cetane content, produces less visible smoke and lowers engine particulate matter, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and life-cycle carbon dioxide emissions. Biodiesel also has a very favorable energy balance of 3.2 to 1 (energy balance is the difference between the energy produced by 1 kg of fuel and the energy necessary to produce it).
