Biodiesel Produced From Waste Cooking Oil The Best Alternative For Fossil Fuels. A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Petroleum products are one of the major sources of energy which is utilized for sustaining the human race but continuous use of these products has led into scarcity and raised in prices of these products. Therefore, the search for other alternatives with their socio-economical aspects has been considered as priority. In this direction many alternative fuels are being recently explored as potential alternatives for present high-pollutant diesel fuel derived specifically from industrial waste. One of them, biodiesel is the best alternative for this problem and has been successfully implemented. Biodiesel are esters monoalkyl of fatty acids of long chain that are produced from vegetable oil, animal fat or waste cooking oils in a chemical reaction known as trans esterification. It emerges as one of the most energy-efficient environmentally friendly options among modern fuels. Diesel engines operated on biodiesel showed fewer emissions of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and particulate matter, than operated on petroleum-based diesel fuel. The country like India which is among the largest fuel importer, the option of biofuel can be helpful in releasing the pressure of fuel demand, with almost no pollution.
