| | | Biodiesel As An Alternative Fuel Leading To Cleaner Environment | | Cleotilde Bulan, Chemicals and Mineral Division-Industrial Technology Development Institute, Department of Science and Technology, Metro Manila, Philippines |
Abstract
Vegetable oils and their derivatives, particularly the methyl esters, commonly referred to as "biodiesel" are the leading candidates as alternative fuel ready for introduction to the growing population who clamor for a cleaner air and cleaner environment. They are technically competitive with and offer technical advantages compared to petroleum-diesel fuel. Aside from being renewable and biodegradable, biodiesel, reduces most emissions while engine performance and fuel economy are nearly the same as the conventional fuel.
