With gas hitting $100 a barrel and higher. Demand continues to soar for alternative energy sources. Since Bio-Fuels can already be mixed with gasoline or used solo, they are seeing the largest demand. Bio-Fuels are also readily available and renewable. In fact many countries require gas be a percentage of Ethanol already. The countries are also using subsidies to increase consumption such as tax benefits to consumers. Countries like Brazil are already using a large amount of Bio-Fuel and seeing great success with their Bio-Fuel programs.
There are many advantages to using Bio-Fuels in place of Gasoline. Unlike Gasoline, Bio-Fuels are renewable energy sources because they are produced with plant materials. Bio-Fuels are completely Biodegradable and non-toxic to the environment. Harmful emissions from Bio-Fuels are far less than that of Diesel. Hydrocarbon emission, the Ozone destroying gas, is 50% less with Bio-Diesel and Carbon Monoxide emissions is on average 48% less than that of Diesel. Research has shown that Bio-Diesel also contains far less particulate matter and nitrous oxides. Since Bio-Diesel has a much higher flash point than Diesel, it is actually classified as a non-flammable liquid by the occupational safety and health administration. One of the biggest advantages as an alternative energy source is the ability to run them in Diesel engines with little to no modification.
As Diesel engines continue to become more technologically advanced producing less emissions, less noise, less vibrations, and better fuel economy, it becomes more advantages to use Bio-Diesel. Because of the engine advances, past problems with Bio-Diesel is becoming a thing of the past. Bio-Fuels also perform just as good as regular diesel with the added benefit of longer engine life. This makes bio-diesel clean and affordable especially for trucks, buses, farm equipment, along with other forms of heavy transportation.
