Welcome to Bio Diesel Online
the way to a sustainable future using renewable fuel sources.
What is bio diesel?
It's a vegetable oil-based fuel that can run in an unmodified engine - be it a car, bus, truck or boat!
Usually made from non-edible vegetable oil it can even be made from recycled fryer oil. The substance can be merged with regular diesel or it can run 100% on its own. The future is bio diesel!
It's also one of the most thoroughly tested alternative fuels on the market. Test have proven that although it performs in a similar fashion to petroleum diesel, bio diesel is far better for the environment.
Bio Diesel is a renewable alternative fuel created from vegetable oils, animal fats, and greases through a chemical process. the chemical process involves reaction of natural oils with an alcohol, and then refining the mixture to create molecules which can be easily burned in a diesel engine. Bio Diesel fuel can be used in any diesel engine in pure form or blended with petroleum diesel at any level. Even a blend of 20% bio and 80% petroleum diesel will significantly reduce carcinogenic emissions and gases that may contribute to global warming. Glycerin is the byproduct of the bio diesel production process, and can be used in personal care products or a variety of chemical applications.
The Department of Environmental Engineering is pursuing active research in the field of bio diesel for the past one and a half years. This website displays some of the achievements of the Department in this respect. Recently, the Department has also extended collaborative links with Pakistan State Oil Co. Ltd. and PCSIR Laboratories. The aim of this joint research initiative is to try and meet, if not surpass the initiative of the Government of Pakistan to blend at least 10% of bio diesel with mineral diesel fuel in the transportation sector.
