New regulations have provided for almost zero sulfur dioxide content in biodiesels. As biofuels continue to garner interest and support within the agricultural industry, many farmers who produce oilseed crops are at the centre of an exciting and evolving industry.
Since biodiesel can readily be used in current diesel engines without having to modify them, it has the potential to supplement the use of petroleum-based fuels as a primary energy source to fill up the need of the world's transportation sector. There are kits available to convert diesel engines that have problems with burning biodiesel. The production cost in some countries is still expensive.
Changes to the feedstock source or additives may be needed to address the cold flow properties of this fuel. There are many reasons biodiesel will benefit our planet and the energy issues we are starting to face. The process of homemade biodiesel production is similar to making soap.
Scientific research confirms that biodiesel exhaust has a less harmful impact on humans. While the kits used to make biodiesel can be pricey up front and can cost several thousand dollars for a higher end model it is important to remember that over the life of the processor you will save money as the price of gas continues to rise and you no longer have to join everyone else at the gas pumps.
