| What kind of difference can the use biodiesel | | | | rain? The overall lifecycle production of |
| make when it comes | | | | waste water from |
| | | | |
| to changing the world for the better? | | | | biodiesel production is 79.0% lower than |
| Perhaps the biggest impact of | | | | overall production of |
| | | | |
| the use of biodiesel fuel instead of just | | | | wastewater from diesel fuel. To put it |
| plain diesel is on the | | | | another way, petroleum |
| | | | |
| human health and the environment.One of the | | | | diesel makes roughly five times as much |
| biggest differences that biodiesel make is | | | | wastewater flow than |
| with regards | | | | |
| | | | biodiesel can make.Can biodiesel make a |
| to smog. Using biodiesel actually reduces | | | | difference when it comes to lung cancer and |
| smog. Both unburned | | | | |
| | | | asthma? Scientific research confirms that |
| hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in diesel | | | | biodiesel exhaust is less |
| fuel account for most of | | | | |
| | | | harmful to humans then diesel fuel exhaust |
| the particulates in air pollution. When you | | | | because lacks aromatic |
| use biodiesel product | | | | |
| | | | compounds. The purer the biodiesel fuel is |
| or homemade biodiesel there is a substantial | | | | the less likely it is to |
| reduction of unburned | | | | |
| | | | create the cancer causing compounds |
| hydrocarbons and if you are using a blend | | | | polycyclic aromatic |
| that is right for your | | | | |
| | | | hydrocarbons. Most of the poisonous |
| machine. Tests that have been conducted | | | | compounds common to diesel |
| according to EPA | | | | |
| | | | exhaust are reduced by 75 to 85 percent by |
| regulations have shown that the hydrocarbon | | | | using biodiesel fuel. |
| exhaust emissions that | | | | |
| | | | Biodiesel is also easier on the lung because |
| biodiesel are half that of that measured for | | | | it reduces the |
| diesel fuel.Can biodiesel make more energy? | | | | |
| Unlike the burning of fossil fuels, | | | | emission of the types of particulate matter |
| | | | that cause asthma and |
| the burning biodiesel fuels actually gives | | | | |
| back more energy to the | | | | other lung disorders by about 47 |
| | | | percent.Additionally biodiesel make less |
| environment that it takes. Lifecycle studies | | | | soot. Studies have shown that |
| of biodiesel | | | | |
| | | | biodiesel reduces the total amount of |
| production show that for every unit of | | | | particulate matter soot in |
| fossil energy it takes to | | | | |
| | | | bus tailpipe exhaust by 83.6%. Soot is the |
| manufacture fossil fuel, 3.2 units of energy | | | | heavy black smoke |
| are gained. This kind | | | | |
| | | | portion of the petroleum diesel fuel exhaust |
| of lifecycle study examines the impact | | | | that consists of 100% |
| during all phases of | | | | |
| | | | carbon. It has been suggested that diesel |
| biodiesel production including its | | | | soot produces cancer.How can you use |
| transportation, production and | | | | biodiesel to make a difference? Burning just |
| | | | a 2% |
| distribution to the biodiesel fuel | | | | |
| customer.Can biodiesel make a difference when | | | | biodiesel blend in on-road vehicle that |
| it comes to reducing the | | | | usually takes diesel fuel |
| | | | |
| effects of global warming? The answer is | | | | will curtail all kinds of harmful emissions. |
| yes. The overall lifecycle | | | | Annually this one |
| | | | |
| emissions of carbon dioxide (a major | | | | action has the potential to reduce poisonous |
| greenhouse gas) from biodiesel | | | | carbon monoxide |
| | | | |
| are 78% lower than the overall carbon | | | | emissions by more than 35 million pounds, |
| dioxide emissions from | | | | reduce ozone forming |
| | | | |
| petroleum diesel fuel!Can biodiesel make a | | | | hydrocarbon emissions by almost 4 million |
| difference when it comes to reducing acid | | | | pounds, reduce hazardous |
| | | | |
| rain? Once again the answer is very | | | | diesel particulate emissions by almost 3 |
| positive. The overall lifecycle | | | | million pounds and reduce |
| | | | |
| emissions of sulfur oxides (major components | | | | acid rain-causing sulfur dioxide emissions |
| of acid rain) from | | | | by more than 3 million |
| | | | |
| biodiesel are 8% lower than overall sulfur | | | | pounds. That's a big difference!Ash Ried is |
