  2. Biodiesel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel

    The viscosity of diesel is 2.5–3.2 cSt at 40 °C and the viscosity of biodiesel made from soybean oil is between 4.2 and 4.6 cSt [153] The viscosity of diesel must be high enough to provide sufficient lubrication for the engine parts but low enough to flow at operational temperature.

  3. Vegetable oils as alternative energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_oils_as...

    Biodiesel - Biodiesel can be produced from vegetable oil through the process of transesterification. Biodiesel burns like normal diesel and works fine in any diesel engine. The name just indicates that the fuel came from vegetable oil. Straight vegetable oil - Straight vegetable oil works in diesel engines if it is heated first. [5]

  4. Biofuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofuel

    Biodiesel is produced from oils or fats using transesterification. It can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form (B100), but it is usually used as a diesel additive to reduce levels of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons from diesel-powered vehicles. [18]

  5. Energy content of biofuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_content_of_biofuel

    Biofuels include bioethanol, an alcohol made by fermentation—often used as a gasoline additive, and biodiesel, which is usually used as a diesel additive. Specific energy is energy per unit mass, which is used to describe the chemical energy content of a fuel, expressed in SI units as joule per kilogram (J/kg) or equivalent units. [1]

  6. Second-generation biofuels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-generation_biofuels

    The development of second-generation biofuels has seen a stimulus since the food vs. fuel dilemma regarding the risk of diverting farmland or crops for biofuels production to the detriment of food supply. The biofuel and food price debate involves wide-ranging views, and is a long-standing, controversial one in the literature.

  7. Alternative fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_fuel

    These raw materials can either be mixed with pure diesel to make various proportions or used alone. Despite one’s mixture preference, biodiesel will release a smaller number of pollutants (carbon monoxide, particulates and hydrocarbons) than conventional diesel

  8. Biogasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogasoline

    Biodiesel in liquid state. There are two main types of biofuels produced: Ethanol and Biodiesel. Biodiesel is a liquid fuel composed of vegetable oils and or animal fats. To create the gasoline itself, these subsequent liquids are combined with alcohol. Biodiesel is used to fuel compression ignition engines, otherwise known as diesel engines.

  9. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

    Diesel fuel has many colloquial names; most commonly, it is simply referred to as diesel.In the United Kingdom, diesel fuel for road use is commonly called diesel or sometimes white diesel if required to differentiate it from a reduced-tax agricultural-only product containing an identifying coloured dye known as red diesel.
