A problem that is sometimes encountered with biodiesel blends is inaccurate blend ratios. This article describes a quick analytical method to assess blend ratios and ensure fuel performance According 10 a study' done by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the chief problem found with biodiesel ...
The personal income tax credit, which was initially authorized in 2006, is provided to eligible taxpayers for biodiesel purchases used for residential space and water heating. For each percent of biodiesel blended with conventional home heating oil, a tax credit of $0.01/gallon is available up to a maximum of $0.20/gallon. ...
As the global commitment to renewable energy sources grows, the importance of using biodiesel as a blending component with diesel fuel has increased. Biodiesel consists of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) which are produced by the transesterification of certain feedstock oils, such as soy, rapeseed, canola, and others. The ...
In January 2007, The Biofuels Act or Republic Act (RA 9367) was signed, creating biofuels legislation in the Philippines that now mandate a ten percent ethanol blend and a two percent biodiesel blend. While the Biofuels Act gives priority to local ethanol, supply issues with local ethanol production have resulted in the ethanol ...
Synopsis: Simple, yet powerful, filter-based IR spectrometers are ideal for compliance to the new ASTM 7861 test method for accurately measuring biodiesel blend ratios. The Wilks InfraSpec analyzer was the instrument used to develop and validate this method and thus is the industry standard for field measurement of FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) ...
On January 23, 2015, China's National Energy Administration issued a biodiesel industry development plan (available in Chinese) to improve the biodiesel sector. The plan encouraged the production of cleaner fuels as well as the use of renewable fuels by promoting foreign companies' participation in the industry; mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring of ...
This paper presents a study on the inclusion of biodiesel and PV modules in a system already in operation on a small farm in southern Brazil. The insertion of biodiesel in different blends with diesel reveals that the use of B100 results in a reduction of about 3% in emissions and a reduction of less than 10% in the final cost of energy. A direct ...
Until recently these question were asked by ecologists and diesel cars owners who are taking hard time in periodic rises in price of fuel. With the event of the biodiesel development the situation cleared up. It became clear to all that cheap, qualitative and environmentally friendly biodiesel was born and started winning surely positions in the world market. ...
And use of a mix of B20 (20% of the biodiesel) is slowed down due to the lack of standards for universal biodiesel fuel. Such mixes can be received by mixing of diesel fuel with biodiesel using blending systems. Advanced technologies in designs of diesel engines with difficult systems of purification of exhaust gases demand ...
Leading positions in production of bioethanol, absolutely are belonged to Brazil and the USA, development of BioDiesel blend fuel solid grows in the different European Union countries. ...
The engine performance was analysed with different blends of biodiesel and was compared with neat diesel. It was concluded that the lower blends of biodiesel are closer to diesel as far as thermal efficiency is concerned. In the lower blends, the brakes specific fuel consumption is also comparatively reduced. ...
In this work, the non–edible oil, neem (Azadirachta indica) was used to produce biodiesel by a two step transesterification process. The fuel properties of the biodiesel thus produced were determined by standard methods. ...
The biodiesel blend is more environmentally friendly, than standard types of fuel which has a crude oil base. ...

Biodiesel is used as automotive fuel either straight or blended with regular diesel fuel. In the US, the biodiesel blends with regular diesel is designated with the letter B; the number following the letter identifies the percentage of oil in the blend. B2 is a blend of 2% ...

The aim of this study is to select the best blend using multi–criteria decision–making (MCDM) technique. The six alternative fuel blends diesel, B20, B40, B60, B80 and B100 are prepared by varying the amount of diesel in biodiesel. ...
The increasing diesel consumption, depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns have prompted usage of biodiesel. The selection of appropriate source and blending of biodiesel plays a role in alternate energy production. The aim of this study is to evaluate the optimum blend using Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) ...
The ever increasing diesel consumption, rapid depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concern has prompted an intensive use of biodiesel produced from various sources. In this study, biodiesel (ethyl ester of fish oil) was prepared from fish oil and different blends of biodiesel–diesel (B20, B40, B60, B80 and B100) were ...
