Trend Outlook: A Closer Look at Biodiesel
Biodiesel fuel is gaining popularity as an environmentally friendly
alternative to conventional fossil fuels and can be formulated to operate in
standard diesel engines. Biodiesel fuel has properties very similar to
typical diesel fuel but has the added advantages of being produced from
renewable sources of agricultural crops and spent sources of vegetable oil.
Biodiesel fuel is also a better lubricant and has the potential to reduce
engine wear. The emissions from engines using biodiesel fuel are
cleaner and have a lesser impact on the environment opposed to burning
conventional fuels.

With increased pressure from the EPA and other environmental
organizations, biodiesel fuel may become a viable fuel source for diesel power
generators. |
