Biodiesel has a higher cetane number than petrodiesel because of its oxygen content. |
|
It takes approximately 13 litres of petrodiesel fuel to harvest and deliver a cubic metre of lumber to a lumber yard. |
|
Biodiesel these days is selling at about the same prices as petrodiesel, or even a little more in many places. |
|
Cetane's renewable diesel is highly stable and provides higher ignition value than traditional biodiesel or petrodiesel, while producing lower emissions. |
|
So the cloud point, which is the temperature at which crystals become visible in the fuel, is a crucial factor in both biodiesel and petrodiesel production. |
|
Use of biodiesel can be carried out alone, or it can be blended with petrodiesel and it can even be used as a low carbon alternative to heating oil. |
|
Most of the current challenges are targeted to reduce its production cost, as the cost of biodiesel is still higher than its petrodiesel counterpart. |
