The appearance on the bio-diesel market has created major doubts in consumers. The manufacturers forbid the use of the product, some technicians instead define it suitable. A jeep grand cherokee v6 for sale owner need to know, the fact of using ethanol in low concentration or in strong concentration does not bring substantial ecological benefits. What matters is the total amount of ethanol consumed.
Concentration Levels
The use of the low concentration is certainly less spectacular, but economically more reasonable, since petrol-powered cars can use it without modification. The reduction cost per tonne of CO2 is therefore lower than in the strong concentration. low concentration) has a positive effect. In some cars it is not necessary to modify the engine that uses it. 100% biodiesel (B100) is not compatible with diesel engines with a particulate filter. It therefore has no future. Furthermore, some studies have shown a modest ecological balance. The matter is, however, controversial and above all we must be cautious because if biodiesel is improperly used on a vehicle not specifically designed for this, no guarantee will be taken for the repair costs.
Biodiesel Production
Besides, as discussed, “The biodieselis a fuel consisting of a mixture of methyl esters obtained by transesterification with methanol of the triglycerides contained in vegetable oils. This is the reaction by which an R-COOR 'ester of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol forms a new R-COOR ester "releasing the previous esterified R'-OH alcohol. The process of transesterification of triglycerides occurs easily at low temperature , at atmospheric pressure, in the presence of an alkaline catalyst and operating with an excess of methanol. The product thus obtained must be neutralized and purified. The vegetable oils most used are those of rapeseed of total biodiesel production and sunflower.
Biodiesel has a higher cetane number than oil of petroleum origin and its use does not require engine modifications. In addition, the exhaust gases of engines powered by biodiesel contain lower concentrations of carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon particles; sulfur dioxide is completely absent. The production-use cycle of biodiesel involves a net development of carbon dioxidepractically negligible; however, the cultivation of oilseed rape is associated with nitrous oxide emissions (another greenhouse gas) that are difficult to quantify, but which could mitigate the environmental benefit resulting from the lower release of carbon dioxide. The biogas , rich in methane, is obtained by anaerobic digestion of organic substances contained in the residue of the agro-industrial processes.”
In Fossil Fuels
Car manufacturers imported into Switzerland do not recommend using this fuel on regular diesel vehicles. The consumer must inquire with the manufacturer or the dealer if his car can run on biodiesel. If this were the case and the car is still under warranty, you must have it written down. In general the production of agrofuels (such as biodiesel) is in competition with the cultivation of cereals and other products intended for human consumption, increasing their price at the expense of those countries where the food shortage of most of the population is already a big problem. A jeep grand cherokee v6 price payer need to aware, the strong increase in fossil fuels destined to continue until the depletion of the deposits should rather favor a rethinking of the economy based on unilateral dependence on non-renewable polluting sources.
