Bio diesel is a renewable substitute fuel made from
bio waste products, like fish and chip oil, animal fat,
kitchen grease and vegetable oils.
Bio diesel is beneficial as it reduces carbon dioxide
emissions.
The only problem with this is getting people informed
about the benefits of bio diesel and other green fuels,
and then to provide reliable distributors.
History:
Dr. Rudolf Diesel who actually invented the diesel engine
used a variety of fuels including coal dust suspended
in water, heavy mineral oil, and vegetable oil.
Dr. Rudolf Diesel showed his engine at the World Exhibition
in Paris in 1900, his engine was running on 100% peanut
oil.
Key elements: Rapeseed oil can
produce bio-diesel while sugary or starchy crops, like
wheat, can be fermented and distilled into bio-ethanol
- the equivalent of petrol.
*The lifecycle of production and of bio diesel produces
approximately 80% less carbon dioxide emissions, and almost
100% less sulfur dioxide.

the corrupt, greedy and killing corporations like Shell
and BP, take a squeezy bottle, a piece of sticky backed
plastic and make your own biodiesel." Shnews.
