Rudolf Diesel
“The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today,” he argued, “but such oils may become, in the course of time, as important as petroleum and the coal-tar products of the present time."

Biodiesel is not the same thing as raw vegetable oil. It is produced by a chemical process which removes the glycerol from the oil.
Biodiesel» Domestic » Renewable » For diesel engines » Derived from natural oils and fats

Why biodiesel? Biodiesel
» Biodegradable» Non-toxic» Lower gas emission that diesel when
burned (reducing green house gases by at least 68%)
» Commercially available in Europe and USA

Biodiesel Biodiesel is typically produced by a
reaction of a vegetable oil or animal fat with an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol in the presence of a catalyst to yield mono-alkyl esters and glycerol, which is removed.

How? Tranesterification: alcohol + ester →
different alcohol + different ester » Base of acid as a catalyst » The oil is mixed with an alcohol, usually
methanol or ethanol, and separated into methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerol.

Palm oil (1) Palm oil plantations is approximately 11
million hectares (2006) in the world» Conversion of tropical forest in Asia into palm
oil plantation– Habitat destruction and potential extinction of certain
endangered species (e.g. the orangutans in Borneo, the Sumatran tigers and Asian rhinoceros) no word on “Brazilian Pluto”

Palm oil (3) Palm oil is derived from the plant’s fruit
» A hundred kilograms of oil seeds typically produce 20 kilograms of oil
» Crude palm oil is extracted from the yellow parts of oil palm fruit

Biodiesel cars The 86% fuel economy compared to
100% gasoline» A smoother running engine due to the
cleaning and lubricating properties of the fuel.
» Other benefits– Better smelling exhaust (french fries or a warm
waffle iron).» Special materials required for fuel lines,
hoses, valves, gaskets

Flexible-Fuel Vehicles (FFV)
Use E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) Cost of FFV is similar to traditional gasoline
vehicle 1gallon of E85 provides the same energy as
0.72 gallons of gasoline (lower E content) Special materials required for fuel lines,
hoses, valves, gaskets, fuel tank (corrosive ethanol)
Washington state more than 35, 000 of FFVs (U.S. over 4 million FFVs)» Ford Focus, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Dodge
Caravan, Chevrolet Avalanche
