Global climate change has driven home the need to find alternative energy sources. Fossil fuels have been killing our environment for some time. The global community is now realizing that change cannot wait...we must find alternative energy sources now. Not any source will do. We must find green energy sources that heal rather than hurt the environment. Biofuels are one such energy source.
Liquid biofuel is capable of being used in all types of vehicles. It is not only renewable but also natural. Natural compounds such as soy and vegetable oil are used to make biofuel. In addition, there are absolutely no petroleum used in the make. This liquid is nontoxic and biodegradeable.
Switching from petroleum based fuel to liquid biofuel reduces the amount of pollutants are cars give off. Biofuels burn clean. They do not give off any harmful by products. Several government agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) have already tested and approved biofuels.
Biofuels can be made from many different products. The most common method involves alcohol. Alcohols such as methanol. Methanol is combined with glycerine and methyl. Do not let the chemical names throw you. These chemicals are found in everyday items such as vegetable oil. Corn and sugarcane have also been used to make biofuels.
Glycerine is used in normal household goods. Glycerine can be found in both toothpaste and soap. Currently, it is very expensive to convert glycerine for biofuels. However, people have reported being able to build a setup to make biofuels for under $200. You would just need a source of raw materials.
But if you look at what you pay for it, the returns are huge because you get to do your share to preserve a cleaner environment, an improvement in air quality and a reduction of cancer-causing agents.
Biodiesel has been proven, on the road. It has offered the same amount of power to efficiency as petroleum based fuels when climbing and hauling. Biodiesel can be used in its pure form or mixed with petroleum based fuels. Several varieties are commercially available. B20 is a mix of 20% biodiesel to 80% petroleum based fuel. E85 uses 85% biodiesel and 15% petroleum based fuel.
You could buy a new automobile capable of running on biodiesel. This is not necessary. It is possible to make some engine modifications and run biodiesel in any vehicle. These modifications do not even void your vehicle's warranty.
We have not run out of time. There is still time to change our habits and move to renewable energy sources.
