BIODIESEL – A RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY
Abstract:
Energy is essential and vital for development and global economic growth. The use of fossil fuels for energy needs is highly discouraged due to its depleting nature and also for its contribution for greenhouse gases emission to the environment. So there is a need to find out an alternative fuel to fulfill the energy demand of the world. Biodiesel is one of the best available sources to fulfill the energy demand of the world. Renewable and carbon neutral biodiesel are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. Biodiesel for agro products is one such fuel source, which is viable and expanding as an alternate source for fossil fuels.A vast majority of the scientists reported that short-term engine tests using vegetable oils as fuels were very promising but the long-term test results showed higher carbon built up and lubricating oil contamination is resulting in engine failure. They concluded that vegetable oils, either chemically altered or blended with diesel to prevent the engine failures. In 2001, a 6-megawatt backup power system that is entirely fuelled by biodiesel installed at the UC Riverside.
Key words: Biodiesel, trans-esterification, blended, oil, renewable source.
