ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF BIO-DIESEL USAGE

  • Renewable energy source.
  • Bio-diesel reduces the emission of carbon monoxide by approximately 50% and carbon dioxide by 78% on a net basis. The use of bio-diesel does not give rise to any net CO2 emission on combustion.
  • Bio-diesel contains fewer aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Sulphur emissions are eliminated because bio-diesel does not contain sulphur.
  • It has higher cetane rating than petrol-diesel, and therefore causes less knocking.
