Biodiesel is a renewable fuel, because it is produced from plant sources, soybean, castor bean, palm oil and others, mixed with ethanol (from sugar cane) or methanol (from wood biomass). Therefore it is a totally clean fuel, organic and renewable.
The biodiesel manufacturing technology is in advanced development in Brazil. Petrobras has this technology and the organic fuel is being used in few vehicles in our country. It is believed that, for the future, this fuel can substitute fossil fuels. That will be a big progress to help to reduce air pollution.
The advantage of biodiesel:
- The burning of fuel generates a low level of pollution that does not contribute to global warming.
The disadvantage of biodiesel:
- If the fuel consumption increases large plantation areas will be resulting in the deforestation of forests.
