Green Biodiesel is a name of a clean burning alternative fuel produced from domestic, renewable resource. It conforms to the ASTM-D6751 specifications for use in diesel engines and it is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency as a legal motor fuel for sale and distribution. Green Biodiesel is the mono-alkyl-esters of long-chain fatty-acids derived from any feed stock or lipid sources of plant or animal origin via process of transesterification. Green Biodiesel contains no petroleum but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel.
Biodiesel – it is a type of renewable energy, a substitute for fossil fuels that has gained interest from scientists, technologists and investors. It is used as an automotive fuel and it has similar properties to petroleum diesel. Biodiesel can be directly used in existing diesel engines with minor or no modifications. Moreover, Biodiesel would result in the reduction of emitted un-burnt Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Sulfur Dioxide (SD), particulate matter in auto emission and will be in the line with the objectives of the Auto Fuel Policy of the Govt. of India.
