Today, most of the leading manufacturers are seeking the methods of producing biodiesel based engines. Most of the sellers are also looking for producers to buy some engines that are biodiesel based because most of their customers are seeking for that kind of engine.
Did you ever ask why did biodiesel incarcerate the interest and the attention of the fuel users, producers, and even sellers? How this biodiesel did reach its popularity? What are its features that make it reach the top?
Yes, most of the producers are trying to create engines that are adaptable to vegetable oil and diesel fuel mixture. The reason maybe is the fact that according to studies, the use of biodiesel aids the United States on lessening its dependence for oil to foreign suppliers. This is the said benefit of biodiesel.
According to one of the biodiesel emissions statistics, owned produced biodiesel will be a great help to keep the cost of production lesser. This said lesser cost of production can be utilized as calamity or emergency funds (for example earthquake).
Another benefit from biodiesel is that it keeps the farmers in employment. Due to the fact biodiesel is extracted from specific plants; its production means a living to the farmers.
In addition to this, plants like canola as well as soya can be used for biodiesel merchandise. Aside from giving jobs to farmers, production of biodiesel also leads to a good market situation for the soya bean surplus production.
In fact, the smoldering of fossils compared to the production of biodiesel will provide more oomph to the environment.
It is also said that the use of biodiesel and its production is indeed self-sustaining. This is because biodiesel is renewable.
Other life cycle investigations give an idea about the fact the more energy units are achieved in biodiesel production life cycle than fossil fuel production. This said life cycle of the biodiesel fuel is said to take no effect to cropping, shipping, fabrication, and allocation of the soya beans as well as canola to the clients.
In fact, according to the studies sponsored by the Agriculture and Energy department, production and utilization lessens the emissions of carbon dioxide.
Another benefit of this biodiesel fuel to the clients is that it shows a trace of air pollution reduction as well as greenhouse gases emission reduction.
Another biodiesel emissions statistics proved that the use of biodiesel is four times more efficient unlike other fuels. Also, biodiesel lessens the noxious carbon dioxide and ozone that contributes to global warming. In addition, biodiesel production also helps in lessening the sulfur dioxide release. With these statistics, biodiesel can indeed be concluded as the most efficient and beneficial fuel in the field of automotive.
Nevertheless, it is also evident that despite the growing popularity of the biodiesel’s benefits, a few producers endorse it because it cuts their profit. Though, you can still make a home made biodiesel as a solution to the environmental and economic dilemmas that the globe is facing.

Making Biodiesel from Animal Fat
Recent studies state that in economic haste to power vehicles with biofuel, crops productions now are geared away from food consumption. This disturbance in the law of supply and demand has forced institutions to look deeper into other options for fuel, bent toward making biodiesel from animal fat.
Other options must be furthered considering soy oil, chicken fat and tallow present potentials as biodiesels as well. Close to half of the projected over one billion gallons of biodiesel in 2012 could be attributed to biodiesel. Developing stories like Tyson Foods’ push for a renewable energy division could very well contribute over 2.3 billion pounds of chicken each year! Loosely said, when that time comes, Tyson Foods could produce 300 million gallons of biodiesel!
Even oil giant Conoco Phillips is looking seriously into a scheme with Tyson Foods, targeting production of 174m gallons of low-sulphur biodiesel. Conoco Phillips aim to benefit from the fat byproducts the cows, pigs and chickens which Tyson Foods processes into its finished products. At present, these byproducts are bought by the cosmetics and pet food industries. The new venture of both will find Tyson shipping a large part of animal fat to the refineries of Conoco Phillips for the latter to process it into biodiesel.
Many studies have stated animal fats perform better in biodiesel, prompting many private companies to venture or invest in companies producing animal fats. Commonly used animal fats tallow and lard are used for biodiesel because they are largely composed of saturated fatty acids. Other advantageous to this form of fuel is that animal fats have as high as 74 cetane numbers, translating to better diesel engine performance. Animal fat also lessens exhaust and emissions, have greater engine efficiency.
The cost issue is settled on animal fat as it results to better engine performance and competence. Moreover, biodiesel from animal fat has very minute harmful emissions and noise pollution when put against other forms of biodiesel.
True, the energy crisis won’t be solved with all the fat from thousands of slaughterhouses around the world. With such unbelievable usage of diesel use, the successes of making biodiesel from animal fats are just a pinkie! But if more and more countries and government pursue this method of fueling industries and cars alike, a great revolution would begin. Clearly, when biodiesel becomes a way of life for many cultures, greenhouse gas emissions are decreased and use of fossil fuels will be a thing of history.

Biodiesel From Coffee Grounds
The price of gasoline can be very burdensome to the households around the globe. As a result, more scientists are conducting studies and devoting their time to experiment on possible sources of cheaper and efficient gasoline sources.
These scientists succeeded because aside from inventing the conversion kits for vegetable oils into biodiesel; today, coffee grounds can also be converted to produce biodiesel. Let me discuss the new breakthrough in the world of automotive – the biodiesel from coffee grounds.
In fact, scientists from the Nevada are proving that coffee grounds are not only waste but also can produce affordable, plentiful, and environmentalist source of fuel that can be used to run the engines of vehicles from cars to trucks.
On the other hand, another study was conducted in the laboratories of Narasimharao Kondamudi and Mano Misra. This experimentation leads to the prevalent utilization of biodiesel. It also proves the affordable and high class of an energy source.
The study also showed that these supposed to be “ravage” contains eleven to twenty percent of oil that can be used to produce biodiesel fuel. This said oil is measured by weight. This said measure is more than the palm, soy bean, as well as rapeseed can produce.
This can be connected to the Growers product production of sixteen billion grounds of coffee (measurement in pound) every year. This said production is allocated to the whole world every year. The waste grounds are used to make a variety of coffee mixture. This said measurement can be used to create gasoline to contribute to the needs of the world today. This was concluded through an experiment of conversion of coffee grounds into biodiesel.
Another interesting fact in the biodiesel from coffee grounds is that it smells like java. Due to this feature, coffee based fuel is said to be more stable that those conventional fuel available in the market today.
Furthermore, the materials left from the alteration of the coffee grounds, can also be converted to other useable compost as well as ethanol, this is all according to the experiment conducted.
Moreover, the terrific result and finding is that this method will allow the United States to profit more or less eight million dollars for a year. Compute the amount for each country that will be benefited with this innovation. Imagine how many countries are in the map. Imagine how many people will be saving money and how much money will be saved.
Biodiesel from coffee grounds is indeed an emergent market in the world today. Approximations by the scientists and related teams recommend and advocate that three billion biodiesel fuels will be made in 2010 (all these are measured in gallons).
These computations are not only from coffee grounds but also from the oil of peanut, vegetable, animal, cooking, and soybean.
In addition to this, fuel of biodiesel can be put in the standard fuel. It can not only be used as a substitute but also can be used as a fuel by itself.

Biodiesel Algae Disadvantages
Biodiesel algae disadvantages are listed in the following paragraphs. But do the following questions ever cross your mind: Does biodiesel from algae really exist? What are biodiesel algae? What are the characteristics of this type of biodiesel? What are the biodiesel algae disadvantages?
Let us try to answer the questions one at a time.
First, yes, it is. There are really existing biodiesel algae. These are also named as oilgae.
Second, biodiesel algae or oilgae are considered third generation biofuel. According to Dictionary.com, biofuel is derived from biomass; furthermore it is generated from renewable resources.
In addition to this, biofuel is said to charge a very low price when it comes to production cost.
In contrast to other traditional methods of producing biofuels, this kind of biofuel produces more energy for every acre weigh against the land required for production.
For the third and fourth question, let me present the disadvantages of biodiesel algae. Today’s scientists are conducting research and studies on the possibility to create fuels to be used in the following everyday tasks: producing biobutanol, vegetable oil, and bioethanol. This said alga culture is also seeking to produce other kinds of biofuel. In addition to this, most studies show and most scientists prove that the strategy and experimentation used in these studies are indeed suitable to produce other variety of biofuels. In addition to this, some experts say that the production of biofuel will be the most practical way to sustain the problem of gasoline shortage for the automotive world.
As well as biodiesel, biofuels are also considered environment friendly. It is used as the best means to decrease the gas from green house productions. In this way, biodiesel may also be used to help in the world’s problem on global warming. Biodiesel will not only be an environment friendly fuel but also a user friendly fuel.
In contrast to this idea, according to the findings of Paul Cotzen (a Nobel Laureate), one of the biodiesel algae disadvantages is that it contributes more to the dilemma of global warming.
In fact, in Paul Cotzen’s experiments, this biodiesel in rapeseed and in corn, produce more nitrous oxide that gradually contribute to the global warming that the world is facing today.
This said investigation is proved by other scientists who say that compared to the emissions from fossil fuels, biodiesel is more an element to the global warming.
In addition to these disadvantages, studies show that the production of biodiesel algae incarcerates more carbon dioxide and dinitrogen oxide in the atmosphere. This occurrence will also lead to global warming. This event usually occurs more or less forty percent in a normal weather and eighty percent in sunlit weather. Furthermore, production of algae results to oil production of about thousands of biodiesel for every year.
According to one scientist, biodiesel can be sustaining the sources for edible oil. This means that it will not only affect the weather through aggravating global warming.
I hope that this article enlightened you about the biodiesel algae disadvantages.
