Biodiesel: an alternative and green energy

Indian Energy Crises and Biodiesel as Renewable Alternative Fuel

-In this research paper we found that in order to meet the growing energy needs as a consequence of spiraling demand and diminishing supply, in today’s world renewable energy and biomass sources mostly bio-fuels are receiving more attention. The demand for energy has been phenomenon due to the rapid development of certain growing economies, especially in developing countries. Also because of th...

Green Energy- An Alternative Source for Sustainable Development

Solar energy is one of the greatest assets human kind has ever got. It’s free of cost and available abundantly over the earth surface. Today peoples are looking for alternate source of energy which can fulfill our demands and can satisfy our day to day needs. In developing countries like India we need energy to cope up with industrial requirement and increasing population. Still many parts of I...

BIODIESEL: Cultivating Alternative Fuels

Alternative crops for biodiesel feedstock

Biodiesel, the name popularly given to fatty acid alkyl esters, has become an attractive option for the replacement of petroleum diesel (‘petrodiesel’). While its overall impact on the greenhouse effect continues to be debated, other qualities of biodiesel are unquestioned. Biodiesel is biodegradable, generally non-toxic and has superior lubricity to petrodiesel. Overall emissions are greatly r...

Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel for Diesel Engines

There is growing interest in biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester or FAME) because of the similarity in its properties when compared to those of diesel fuels. Diesel engines operated on biodiesel have lower emissions of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, particulate matter, and air toxics than when operated on petroleum-based diesel fuel. Production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from rap...
