According to Worldwatch Institute Climate and Energy Program, 2010 was the top of worldwide production of biofuels when 105 billions of litres were produced. The rise in numbers biofuels litres was attributed to high oil price and to […]

Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestically grown, renewable resources which contains no petroleum products, but can be blended at any concentration with diesel from fossil sources to create a biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modification. It is simple to […]
