Why Biofuels?

“During the time of the dinosaurs, there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the world experienced warmer average temperatures. Through photo- synthesis the carbon in the air was deposited into the ground, and over the past 40 million years manifested itself in the form of crude oil and coal. Since the industrial revolution, we have burned so much of this carbon back into the air that world wide warmer temperatures are starting to occur. This is causing detrimental global changes.”

Through Biofuels, a carbon neutral cycle is maintained in a process where carbon is absorbed into plants from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The carbon is then deposited back into the air after the derivative vegetable oil is combusted in an engine.

Carbon neutral cycle

A crop of oil producing plants will absorb exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide in order to produce a gallon of vegetable oil as a gallon of vegetable oil emits when it is burned as fuel.

Biofuel sources; biodiesel, waste oil, and vegetable oil

    Biodiesel creates a Reduction of:

  • 100% net Carbon Dioxide (causes global warming)
  • 100% Sulfur Dioxide (causes acid rain)
  • 40-60% of soot emissions
  • 10-50% of carbon monoxide emissions
  • 10-50% of hydrocarbon emissions
  • 80-90% mutagenicity (causes cancer)
  • Significantly reduces carcinogenic emissions
