Bio Fuels are making more and more headlines and this is leaving some to wonder just what is bio diesel? Images of people dumping their household vegetable oil in their gas tank comes to mind, but that’s is not even close to the case. Here, we’ll take a look at the advantages and disadvantages, as well as help some to better understand just why more and more businesses and franchises feel the need to latch on to this more sustainable fuel source.
Gas mileage is on just about everyone’s minds these days, but how exactly do you measure it? It sounds simple, but it does require a little thought and planning, as this article explains.
The use of ethanol as an alternative fuel is becoming increasingly popular by ever conscious consumers wishing to do their little bit for the planet. It may even be a better alternative to bio fuel, it seems that it is a lot more pleasant to make at any rate.
I’ve seen so much hype about Soy recently as the vegetarian protein savior. Independent researchers paint a different picture of the innocent soy bean. I will extract the excerpts from studies which include the researcher and the institution.
With all of the talk about fast depleting fossil fuels and the ever climbing global temperature, it can be difficult to catch up with the various environmental issues that are coming to the forefront of things at this point in time. Science is finding a way to make up for many of the things that are becoming issues as related to the environment, but with many of these things it is a literal race against time to find a substitute for that which we have become dependent upon. Ethanol fuel serves just that purpose.
Glycerin or glycerine is a compound produced in soap production procedure. Commercial soap manufacturers take out the compound and incorporate it in other beauty, pharmaceutical and personal care products. The compound is a well-known humectant and it is this property that allows it to be widely used as a component in moisturizing and skin softening agents. In fact, some soap makers preserve the compound in their product for the proven advantages.
Glycerol or glycerine has a chemical formula C3H8O3. It is an industrially valuable chemical derived from fats mainly through soap-making, which releases the compound as a by-product. It is used to make nitroglycerin, but has numerous other uses. It is used in lotions, soaps and creams. It is also an antifreeze product.
Bio diesel is not a new concept it has been around for quite some time, it is largely the idea of using oils such as vegetable oil and canola to power a diesel vehicle.

We’re now going to talk about doing a titration. When you collect waste vegetable oil from a restaurant or from anywhere that they use the oil, the oil is typically going to be well used, it’s going to be somewhat acidic, and it’ll be important to find out how acidic it is so that we can neutralize that acid with excess lye. We’re going to talk about how we do it here on the board.
So you want to know how to make biodiesel? Start by gathering your ingredients. You will need vegetable oil-used is fine-lye or another caustic agent like sodium hydroxide and methanol.
