Biofuels - Guascor Power - 0 views

  • Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), known as biodiesel, are products of plant or animal origin whose composition and properties are defined by the European Union in standard EN 14214. There is an exception for the iodine value for Spain, which has been established as 140 rather than the 120 proposed by standard EN 14214.

HowStuffWorks "How Biodiesel Works" - 0 views

  • Lost in the mix are the biofuels, fuels made from biological ingredients instead of fossil fuels. These starting ingredients can range from corn to soybeans to animal fat, depending on the type of fuel being made and the production method.

How Much Does Biodiesel Reduce Air Pollutants? - 0 views

  • Biodiesel fuel almost eliminates the air pollution caused by petroleum based fuels. Toxins that can cause cancer are virtually cut to zero by the use of biodiesel fuel instead of regular diesel fuel.

What Is Hydrogen? (with picture) - 1 views

  •  
    "Hydrogen is a highly flammable chemical element that occurs in great abundance throughout the universe. In fact, this element makes up approximately 75% of the universe, by volume, and it appears in a very large number of compounds, especially those which make up various organic materials."

    "Bio-fuel is produced directly from plant matter typically corn, sugar cane, sugar beets, or cellulose transforming it into alcohol. Fossil fuels are produced by either the decomposition of plant or animal matter over long periods of time under certain conditions such as high temperature and "

Transesterification - Definition, Glossary, Details - Oilgae - 0 views

  • The main reaction for converting oil to biodiesel is called transesterification.
  • The transesterification process reacts an alcohol (like methanol) with the triglyceride oils contained in vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled greases, forming fatty acid alkyl esters (biodiesel)

Biodiesel Performance, Costs, and Use - 0 views

  • Unless soybean oil prices decline dramatically, it does not appear that biodiesel can be produced in large quantities at a cost that is competitive with petroleum diesel

  • Biodiesel is considered a non-flammable and non-combustible product.
  • Optimally, dedicated biodiesel tanker trucks and associated transfer components should be used to transport biodiesel. If non-dedicated equipment is used, it must be washed, rinsed, drained and dried prior to biodiesel loading in order to avoid any cross-contamination.

Biodiesel.org - FAQ - 0 views

  •  
    Biodiesel (mono alkyl esters) is a cleaner-burning diesel fuel made from natural, renewable sources such as vegetable oils. Because it is renewable and domestically produced, biodiesel fits well under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which is in place to help ensure national energy security through replacing imported petroleum products with domestic alternative fuels.

E85 | Making Ethanol - 0 views

  • Wheat or corn kernels are ground in a hammermill to expose the starch. The ground grain is mixed with water, cooked briefly and enzymes are added to convert the starch to sugar using a chemical reaction called hydrolysis. Yeast is added to ferment the sugars to ethanol. The ethanol is separated from the mixture by distillation and the water is removed from the mixture using dehydration.

Traditional Energy Sources vs. Green Power Sources | National Geographic - 2 views

  • Coal generates 2,249 pounds of carbon dioxide, 13 pounds of sulfur dioxide and 6 pounds of nitrogen oxides for every megawatt hour of energy generated.
  • Biomass produces nitrogen oxides and small amounts of sulfur dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide produced does not exceed that of the Earth's normal carbon cycle and is considered negligible.
