November 19th, 2007 · No Comments

What is Bio Diesel Bio Diesel is extracted fats and oils from non edible animal by-products. Whatever is not eaten by humans,from pigs,chicken,beef and fish are used for raw material. This methyl diester product is a Boi-Fuel that is a renewable resource. The product burns at 150deg.C. Compared to 50deg.C.for regular diesel. It is less Toxic than salt so therefor the name Bio-Diesel. Some Cruise Boats in Saint Lawrence River did a test run for the season and it showed a reduction in emission of 350 tons less Carbon Dioxide equivalent to 119 vehicles driven for 20,000 kilometer each for one year. According to U.S National Bio Diesel Board this fuel is the most tested alternative fuel on the market. If mixed by regular Diesel this becomes a viable fuel and will certainly help reduce the overall emission of Green House Gases. Added into the Farm Industry also and Getting the Governments on-line should prove that this product has a future and hopefully will be here to stay.
