Biodiesel: The Use of Vegetable Oils and Their Derivatives as Alternative Diesel Fuels Gerhard Knothe*, Robert O. Dunn and Marvin O. Bagby Oil Chemical Research, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Peoria, IL 61604 Vegetable oils and their derivatives (especially methyl esters), commonly referred to as “biodiesel,” are prominent candidates as alternative diesel fuels. They have advanced from being purely experimental fuels to initial stages of commercialization. They are technically competitive with or offer technical advantages compared to conventional diesel fuel. Besides being a renewable and domestic resource, biodiesel reduces most emissions while engine performance and fuel economy are nearly identical compared to conventional fuels. Several problems, however, remain, which include economics, combustion, some emissions, lube oil contamination, and lowtemperature properties. An overview on a

The forum has over a thousand members from all over the globe and describes itself this way: DESCRIPTION Alternative fuels, like SVO, (straight veg oil, waste veg oil) waste motor oil and biodiesel are being successfully burned in adapted residential oil-fired furnace burners such as Arco, R. W. Beckett, Carlin, Ducane, Esso, International, Riello, Slant Finn and Wayne. PURPOSE OF THIS FORUM The forum is a meeting place to exchange information and ideas in adapting residential oil burners that use HHO(home heating oil)to these alternative fuels. This would also include info on other devices like pre-heaters, heat-exchangers, heat-retent

www. BioTuning. co. uk email: mike@biotuning. co. uk Collecting and Filtering Used Cooking Oil The collection and filtering of used cooking oil seems to be the area of vegoil motoring that has spawned the most wide ranging methods, rumours and counter information. This can give rise to uncertainty and confusion leading to either complex, expensive and inefficient filtering systems being built or worse still, people seeing it as a difficult thing to do and not bothering at all. This is a shame because it can be a very simple process that takes very little time and can give the biggest rewards both financially and environmentally. This guide has been prepared to show how simple, quick and inexpensive it can be to collect and produce your own fuel from used cooking oil. The fuel produced using this filter arrangement has not been tested for fuel compliance by BioTuning - It has been used in the field for a number of years and works for us. Securing a good source of used oil. This is

Finding the Oil The first step is to find the oil. Take a look at a map of your local area and pick a quadrant on one side of town. Lay out a road plan to drive down each major street where consumer stores are located. Make a plan so you drive the shortest distance possible while covering every major road with businesses that might have a grease dumpster. Types of businesses that might have dumpsters are fast food chains, take-out pizza, family restaurants, movie theaters, bowling alleys, hotels, game parks, bars, gas stations with cooked food, schools, hospitals, donut shops, large grocery stores and even large industrial potato chip manufacturers. There are countless others! Collecting Waste Vegetable Oil Collecting waste vegetable oil is one of the seldom discussed issues when the subject of using BioDiesel comes around.

Martin Davies Nuffield Farming Scholarship Trust © 2007 Page 1 of 4 BIODIESEL and VEGETABLE OIL AS A FUEL The idea of using vegetable oils as fuels for diesel engines is over a hundred years old. Rudolf Diesel conducted engine tests on plant oils and a prototype of his new engine was presented at the Paris exhibition of 1900, running on peanut oil. Plant oils, however, are far more viscous than fossil fuels which can result in poor combustion and formation of deposits. The problems can be overcome by adapting the engine to the fuel or, more commonly, the fuel to the engine; biodiesel. Biodiesel Biodiesel is a substitute fuel for compression-ignition (diesel) internal combustion engines. It is produced by the transesterification of waste or vegetable oils and animal oils, or fats with lower alcohols. Most vegetable oils can be converted into biodiesel but the cost of the vegetable oil feedstock is now a key factor in the least cost production of biodiesel for blending with fossil

Science in Hong Kong: Volume 6, Autumn 2009 p25 Introduction Nowhere else in the world has a heavier traffic density than that of Hong Kong. Vehicles in Hong Kong are responsible for roughly 15% of the total carbon dioxide (CO2) emission 1,2 . So it is worthwhile putting efforts into the development of a clean energy industry in Hong Kong. In many aspects, biodiesel is a good choice. In the following paragraphs, the general features of biodiesel will be introduced and then its benefits for Hong Kong will be explained Biodiesel and Waste Vegetable Oil Biodiesel is an alternative fuel choice for diesel vehicles. It is derived from vegetable oils or animal fats 3 . The feedstock is first chemically transformed into purer products and then used in vehicles with or without blending with regular diesels. Biodiesel is compatible with almost all of the current diesel engines 3 . Waste vegetable oils (WVOs) are inedible vegetable oils from the kitchens of homes and restaurants. Althoug

Unprocessed recyclable cooking oil may contain over 50 % impurities such as water, food particles, plastic utensils, etc. Most processed recycled cooking oils are sold as Yellow Grease. Many independent renderers operate fleets of specialized trucks for transporting these various raw materials to plants for processing. They maintain the required waste transportation licenses in each state in which they operate and have implemented environmental protection and safety programs which protect communities from spills and other hazards of transporting waste materials.

Big Green Bus Powered by Vegetable Oil and Solar Panels Stops at Saint Viator August 27, 2010 What’s big and green and environmentally conscious all over? The Big Green Bus, built by science and engineering students from Dartmouth College, that’s what. The former diesel-run motor coach was retrofitted six years ago by Dartmouth students, and each summer a new group takes the bus out on a cross-country tour promoting alternative fuel and sustainable living. They stopped Friday at Saint Viator High School in Arlington Heights, where 2010 Dartmouth graduate Ann Elise DeBelina of Palatine --- and bus passenger --- had attended high school. Her mother, Mary Lee, heads up the math department. “Traveling around the country you hear so many stories and sense so much enthusiasm for the things we were promoting, like climate change and sustainability,” said DeBelina. “It really starts with little things that people can do, that when added up, do make a difference. ” The educational

Cooking oil is generally recycled and used for animal feed. However, because of recent legislative developments, this practice may not be possible in the near future. Therefore it is necessary to find another recovery option and an outlet for waste cooking oil. The common method of deposing the oils in the sewage system is an illegal practice that causes many problems. The oils clog the sewage systems causing malfunctions in the filters and oil/water sepa
