Biodiesel Fuel?

Biodiesel Fuel?

Recently one of my friend was telling about how his college mate(now in US) thinking of getting into entrepreneurship. I was guessing, may be he's venturing into some kind of IT enabled services or software services since he's an software guy. I was bit startled as he progressed to stay, he is coming back to India to start an bio diesel producing company. I must appreciate his way of thinking. It seemed like he's having blueprint ready for the project too. I was also aware that the state bus transportation is running some buses on bio diesel or fuel extracted from vegetables.

Found an interesting read on this bio fuel, which is gaining some importance in recent past on the wake of raising fuel prices.

What is Biodiesel Fuel?
Biodiesel fuel is a fuel which made from renewable sources. Not like a petroleum gasoline which made from fossil energy or non renewable energy, biodiesel is a good alternative energy.

Biofuels become popular nowadays, Biofuels create big hopes for car driver, fuel price is become higher and higher.Many car driver screaming with that crazy gas price, the gas price will make the car driver’s wallet empty every day. And Biofuels come for the gas alternative than fossil fuel. But is that true biofuels are have many advantages rather than their disadvantages?. Every objects in this world have advantages site and disadvantages site. I believe that Biofuels have that too.

So What is the advantages of Biofuels?
Here are some advantages of biofuels:Biodegradable, non toxic and easy to handle, Less of CO and Sulfur, carbon neutral, its made from renewable resources, clean fuels so its good for cars.

Interestingly, a user(Biffula) comment has more to say about this energy format:

Corn and sugar based ethanol is a disaster! If all the crop land in the US were switched to grow corn, all of that corn would only produce 12% of the US energy needs. Not to mention it is inefficient to make and would use too much fertilizer thus polluting the waterways. Then what about food shortages? We’re already seeing that happen. And finally ethanol is not good as a fuel. Cars get worse gas mileage, thus use more, when burning ethanol. An entirely different type of energy needs to be used for vehicles. We need to go after electric(which in the US is mainly produced using coal, natural gas, water and nuclear) or some form of hydrogen cell. But wake up and forget ethanol folks! It’s a looming disaster bigger than petroleum!

With all these energy hungry news, recently there was a news in the media. Hubli based Engineering college students invented a car which runs on pure air. Upon research found some news related to: how Air Hybrid Car Could Improve Fuel Efficiency.
