Promise of The Future-Biodiesel

Uploaded by

Gaurav Yadav

This document discusses the promise of biodiesel as a renewable and cleaner-burning alternative to petroleum diesel. It provides facts about biodiesel, including that it is made from vegetable oil or animal fat that is modified to have a lower viscosity similar to petroleum diesel. The document also details the process of transesterification to produce biodiesel from triglycerides, and includes the results of analysis of crude Jatropha oil and the resulting biodiesel, finding improvements in acid value and other properties with biodiesel production.

“PROMISE OF THE FUTURE-

BIODIESEL”

Production of biodiesel from Jatropha curcas


BIODIESEL
FACTS
Renewable, cleaner burning diesel fuel
made from vegetable oil or animal
tallow.
Consists of methyl ester or ethyl esters.
Vegetable oil modified with a lower
viscosity to fool your diesel injection
system to think it's still pumping petrol
diesel.
