The biodiesel - chinagushan

According to chinagushan website the Biodiesel is a renewable, clean burning fuel, which has been in commercial production in Europe since 1991 and in the United States since 1998. Made from vegetable oils, animal fats or waste oil, biodiesel is a viable alternative fuel to conventional petroleum-based diesel.

Its benefits -

"Lower Emission of Exhaust Smoke. Biodiesel is a clean burning fuel and provides a number of benefits in terms of emissions and environmental effect when compared to conventional petroleum-based diesel, including:

• close-to-zero sulphur content •
• significantly lower exhaust particulates and hydrocarbons
• significantly lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions
• non-toxic

Higher Biodegradability. Biodiesel degrades about four times faster than petroleum-based diesel.Dextrose, a test sugar used as the positive control when testing biodegradability, degrades at the same rate as biodiesel. Blending biodiesel with petroleum-based diesel fuel accelerates the latter’s biodegradability."
