Alternative fuel for any diesel engine From renewable resources such as soybeans Made in the USA Available in 50 statesSlide3: Rudolph Diesel designed diesel engine in 1894 to run on peanut oil “The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today. But such oils may become in the course of time as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time.” –1912 By Definition: By Definition General Definition: Biodiesel is a domestic, renewable fuel for diesel engines derived from natural oils such as soybean oil, and which meets the specifications of ASTM D 6751. Not the same thing as raw vegetable oil Production: Production (Catalyst) 100 pounds + 10 pounds = 100 pounds + 10 pounds triglyceride Methanol Biodiesel Glycerine (Vegetable oil or animal fat) B100 = Biodiesel Specified by ASTM D 6751 B20 = 20 % B100 blended with 80% petrodieselSlide6: Biodiesel Blends B100 = 100% biodiesel B20 = 20% biodiesel + 80% petroleum diesel B10 = 10% biodiesel + 90% petroleum diesel B5 = 5% biodiesel + 95% petroleum diesel B2 = 2% biodiesel + 98% petroleum dieselPerformance: PerformanceSlide8: How does biodiesel perform? Similar to petroleum diesel Highest BTU content of any alternative fuel High cetane Minimum cetane of 47, which is higher than most #2 diesel Does biodiesel perform in cold weather?: Does biodiesel perform in cold weather? Yes! During winter, petro distributors treat B20 for climate needs Regular diesel also needs to be treated Usually involves blending with a heartier winter dieselWill biodiesel void my warranty?: Will biodiesel void my warranty? The use of B20 and below will not void the warranty of any major US engine manufacturer Position statements can be found at www.biodiesel.org Caterpillar Cummins Detroit Diesel International John Deere Case New Holland Volkswagen Dodge Ram Pickup: Dodge Ram PickupEmissions: Emissions Slide13: Biodiesel Lowers Emissions Decreases EPA-targeted emissions Virtually free of sulfur & aromatics Soy B100 reduces lifecycle CO2 by 78%Emissions: EmissionsEnvironment: Environment Biodegrades as fast as sugar B20: helps diesel portion degrade twice as fast Nontoxic Energy Balance: Energy Balance Highest energy balance of any fuel For every unit of fossil energy needed to make biodiesel, 3.2 units of energy are gained USDA/DOE study This takes into account the planting, harvesting, fuel production, transport... Institute for Local Self Reliance International Energy Agency Energy Balance: Energy Balance It’s so high because: Plants get free energy from the sun Soybeans are a low input crop Soybean oil is a surplus product No soybeans are grown for biodieselBiodiesel…a Transitional Fuel: Biodiesel…a Transitional Fuel Biodiesel is not a perfect fuel, but: It works with existing vehicles, TODAY Can transition us to zero-emission fuelDiesel Vehicles: Diesel Vehicles J.D. Power estimates diesel vehicles will make up 7.5% of passenger cars by 2012 (up from 3% in 2004) Highly fuel efficient Cleaner and quieter Diesel Vehicles: Diesel Vehicles Diesel is getting cleaner New EPA regulations: .07 grams of NOx per mile All emissions drastically reduced Ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel Health Benefits: Health Benefits Better for human health Reduces the compounds linked to cancer by 80 – 90% Less irritating to eyes, nose, throat; asthma Users: Users 500 fleets, including: NASA U.S. Military L.L.
