Biomass Pelleting

Biodiesel has developed into an established biofuel during the past more than two decades. However, the production capacities, end-uses, as well as technologies are still evolving further. The present article presents a snapshot of recent market and technological developments related to biodiesel, its raw materials and technologies. USA – PRODUCTION CAPACITY As of 1 January

Commercial Aspects – Part 1 Renewable biodiesel offers acceptable solutions to the problems of decreasing reserves of fossil fuels and their harmfully polluting green house gas emissions. Various types of biodiesel can help in overcoming the increasing energy demand worldwide. Biodiesel has the ability to eradicate the environmental problems, such as global warming and sustainability.

Biodiesel basically replaces the petroleum-based diesel or petro-diesel and therefore, it can be used wherever the petro-diesel is used. However, in most applications, biodiesel is used in conjunction with the petroleum-based diesel, i.e., biodiesel is blended with the petro-diesel in different proportions depending on the availability of biodiesel as well as its costing, the engines

COMPARISON WITH PETROLEUM-BASED DIESEL Biodiesel replaces the petroleum-based diesel fuel partially or completely. It operates the compression-ignition engines. Biodiesel is a drop-in fuel and can be used in regular diesel engines without making any changes to the engines, although older engines may require replacement of fuel lines and other rubber components. Biodiesel is made from
