What is Biodiesel?

• Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning diesel replacement that

is reducing dependence on petroleum diesel, creating jobs and

improving the environment.

• It can be blended with petroleum diesel to produce a biodiesel

blend which is then used in many different vehicles.

Properties Of BioDiesel

• Health Effects: In comparison to other alternative fuels, there are a number of

unique qualities and properties of biodiesel fuel. Meeting the standards of the

1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, it has also cleared all the health effects testing

requirements, unlike other alternative fuels

• Viscosity: The viscosity of a fuel is important because it influences the

atomization of the fuel being inserted into the engine combustion chamber. For

complete combustion to happen, a small fuel drop is required. . The biodiesel fuel

property of having the viscosity much closer to diesel fuel than vegetable oil helps

create a much lower drop, which burns cleaner.

4

• Lubrication: The other main property of biodiesel fuel is its lubricating properties. It has

much better lubricating and a higher cetane ratings than today's lower sulfur diesel fuels.

Adding Biodiesel also helps in reducing fuel system wear. The fuel injection equipment

depends on the fuel for its lubrication. The biodiesel fuel properties increase the life of the

fuel injection equipment. Giving better lubricity and a more complete combustion increases

the engine energy output, thus partially balancing for the higher energy density of petro

diesel.

• Physical Properties: It is liquid which can be different in color, from golden and dark brown,

all depending on the production feedstock. It is immiscible with water, has a high boiling point

and low vapor pressure. The flash point of biodiesel is considerably higher than that of

petroleum diesel. Biodiesel fuel has a density of ~ 0.88 g/cm³, which is less than that of water.

Properties Of BioDiesel 5

• Chemical Properties: its calorific value is about 37.27 MJ/L, which is 9% lower

than regular petro diesel. It has practically no sulfur content, and is frequently used

as an additive to Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel.

• Emissions Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to successfully complete the EPA’s rigorous

emissions and health effects study under the Clean Air Act. Biodiesel provides significantly

reduced emissions of carbon monoxide, particulate matter, unburned hydrocarbons, and

sulphates compared to petroleum diesel fuel. Additionally, biodiesel reduces emissions of

carcinogenic compounds by as much as 85% compared with petro diesel. When blended with

petroleum diesel fuel, these emissions reductions are generally directly proportional to the

amount of biodiesel in the blend .

• A Clean Alternative Fuel for New and Old Engines Diesel engines have long had a reputation

of being “dirty” engines. However, with the advent of newer diesel engines equipped with

exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), particulate filters, and catalytic converters, clean diesel

technology provides incredible fuel efficiency with ultra low emissions levels. When coupled

with the use of biodiesel, both new and old diesel engines can significantly reduce emissions,

including particulate matter (black smoke).

Environmental Effects Of Biodiesel Fuel

• Close Contact Benefits from the “French Fry Fuel” The reduced particulate and unburned

hydrocarbons emissions that result when using biodiesel are a welcome relief in environments

where workers and pedestrians are in close proximity to diesel engines, including public

transport, mining, and construction. In addition, when high blends of biodiesel are used, the

exhaust from diesel engines is often described as smelling like fried food, which aside from

causing increased hunger in those nearby, is a welcome relief from the smell of diesel fuel

exhaust.

Types of Emissions • Particulate Matter (Black Smoke): Emissions of particulate matter have been linked to

respiratory diseases and are generally considered to be a human health hazard. Emissions

of particulate matter are reduced with biodiesel by 47%.

• Carbon Monoxide: Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas. Reduced with biodiesel by 48%.

• Total Unburned Hydrocarbons: Compounds which contribute to localized formation of

smog. Reduced with biodiesel by 67%.

• Nitrogen Oxides: Compounds which contribute to localized formation of smog. According

to NREL (Biodiesel Handling and Use Guidelines 2009 revision) examination of the NOx

testing results shows that the effect of biodiesel can vary with engine design, calibration,

and test cycle. At this time, the data are insufficient for users to conclude anything about

the average effect of Biodiesel on NOx, other than that it is likely very close to zero.

10

Types of Emissions • Sulfates :

Sulfates are major contributors to acid rain. These emissions are practically eliminated

when using biodiesel.

• Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH and nPAH):

These compounds have been identified as carcinogenic (cancer causing) compounds.

Biodiesel reduces emissions of these compounds by up to 85% for PAH compounds and

90% for nPAH compounds.

• Speciated Hydrocarbons:

These compounds contribute to the formation of localized smog and ozone. The potential

for smog formation from speciated hydrocarbons is reduced by 50% when using biodiesel.

11

Life Cycle Reduction of CO2

Biodiesel helps reduce the risk of global warming by reducing net carbon emissions

to the atmosphere. When biodiesel is burned, it releases carbon dioxide to the

atmosphere, but crops which are used to produce biodiesel take up carbon dioxide

from the atmosphere in their growth cycle.

A joint study conducted by the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, and the

U.S. Department of Energy

determined that biodiesel reduces net

carbon dioxide emissions to the

atmosphere by 78.5% compared with

petroleum diesel fuel.

Biodiesel Feedstock • Biodiesel fuel is one of the easiest alternative fuels to use. A variety of oils as biodiesel

fuel feedstock's are used to produce the fuel. The main feedstock's for biodiesel fuel are:

• Waste vegetable oil (WVO): The waste vegetable oil (WVO) discarded from a restaurant

is getting popular as feedstock's for biodiesel fuel. Many supporters propose that waste

vegetable oil is the best raw material for biodiesel fuel production.

• Animal fats: Tallow, lard, yellow grease, chicken fat, and the by-products of the

production of Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil are increasingly used as biodiesel fuel

feedstock's.

• Algae: Algae can be grown using waste materials such as sewage and without making

use of land used for food production. They are also looked upon as a good source of

biodiesel feedstock's.

• LBF uses USED COOKING OIL as the major feed stock for producing Biodiesel.

22

Biodiesel Feedstock: Used Cooking Oil (UCO)

• We are one of the biggest UCO collectors authorized by Dubai Municipality and the only one having our own fuel stations across Dubai. • We pay for the UCO collected, thus giving an incentive to UCO providers. • Our main sources of UCO are restaurants, bakeries, food chains etc. • By efficiently converting UCO waste into biofuel we help the Municipality in disposing UCO waste safely which could have resulted into alarming sewage problems.

• As a part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, by converting UCO into fuel we prevent it entering into the food chain again. • UCO has the highest carbon saving ratio amongst all the available biodiesel feedstock.
