Biodiesel vs. Diesel Fuel
There are significant differences in environmental impact when comparing biodiesel and diesel’s life cycle emissions. While both fuels produce similar amounts of carbon dioxide during combustion, biodiesel’s carbon dioxide emission is partially offset by the growth of plants like soybeans and other feedstock used to make biodiesel fuel. This leads to a notable decrease in net carbon dioxide emissions over its life cycle.
The U.S. Department of Energy reports that pure biodiesel emissions are reduced by 74% compared to diesel. Meanwhile, a B20 blend reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 15%.
The difference between diesel and biodiesel is also apparent when observing other emission pollutants. Research published by the Institute of Physics (IOP) revealed the following results:
- Carbon monoxide: Pure biodiesel produces significantly lower carbon monoxide emissions than regular diesel.
- Hydrocarbon: Diesel generates higher hydrocarbon emissions than biodiesel, suggesting that biodiesel supports a cleaner combustion process.
- Nitrogen oxides: Pure biodiesel generally produces higher nitrogen oxide emissions than diesel. However, modern diesel vehicles manufactured from 2010 onwards are equipped with selective catalytic reduction technology. This significantly reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by transforming nitrogen oxide into water vapor and non-toxic nitrogen.Global Automobile AwardVisit Our Website
