Biodiesel is the alternative fuel created from nontoxic components like vegetable oil and animal fats. Since it is a substitute for regular fuel, increasing the use of biodiesel can increase energy security, reduce the harmful effect of regular diesel fuel on human health and environment. The usage of this fuel substitute is much safer than regular fuel. In this article, we are going to discuss some major benefits this alternative fuel can bring to our lives.
Biodiesel became the most environment friendly fuel substitute from early 2000. The Environmental Protection Agency of US set a two-tier test to check the impact of emission of fuel on human health. Biodiesel passed this test with flying colors which proves it has significantly reduced the threat on human health.
Prices of agricultural products are downwards, while the gas price is going up everyday. This is the perfect opportunity to use the surplus vegetable oil to boost energy security. The conventional equipment and production capacity currently exists is sufficient to manufacture biodiesel.
Since vegetable oil is one of the main sources of bio diesel production, it can put extra money in our agricultural sector. Gas is a product that is used in both urban and rural areas. By increasing demand for renewable biodiesel, it is easy to create an economic balance between both parts.
Biodiesel is not only cleaner and safer for health and environment; its benefits are much bigger. Few years down the road, the choices available to the drivers worldwide can be lot different.
