| Description |
Biofuel is a new motor fuel that is beginning to emerge on the international scene in the wake of
passagoef the clean Air Act amendments of 1990 and the energy policy act or 1992, Biodiescl
hasvirtually no sulphur and aromatics, high oxygen by weight and high cetane number. These
! anributcsallow biodiesel to be a better quality fuel than diesel fuel and to be used as all
I emissionsreducing fuel component. Lack of aromatics contribute significantly to reduction in
i exhaustgases e.g. NOx and particulates. Biodiesel also holds promise as a cetane improver.
~;
Environmentarlegulations are going to put severe demands on oil industry for improving fuel
; quality. In India too, major change has been the drastic reduction in sulphur content. Biofuel,
r \\hichhasno sulphurandhighcetanenumber,can be an alternatefor reducingthe pollutionand
r improvingthe quality of conventional fuel.
The paper presents the problems associated with the use of vegetable oils as a substitute for
dieselfuel and the advantages of using the methyl esters as diesel substitute/diesel extender.
