Biodiesel (B100)

Biodiesel or renewable diesel  is a type of diesel fuel that is made from renewable, biodegradable sources such as Used cooking oil, acid oil, Crude Palm Stearin, vegetable oils, tallow oil and a host of other non edible oils.. Currently, it can be used by blending with petroleum-based diesel in most diesel engines with little or no modification to the diesel engines.

Biodiesel is typically labelled with a number that represents the percentage of biodiesel in the fuel blend. For example, B20 is a fuel blend that contains 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel. Hongirana’s B100 is a pure biodiesel fuel that is made up of 100% biodiesel. Such biodiesel is a cleaner-burning fuel that produces fewer emissions, making it more environmentally friendly.

Industrial Applications

Biodiesel is versatile and can be used in a variety of industrial applications as an alternative to petroleum-based diesel fuel.

    Transportation

    Biodiesel can be used as a green fuel to power heavy- duty trucks, buses, boats, ships and other vehicles in the transportation industry.

    feature
    Agriculture & Construction

    Biodiesel can be used to power farm machinery such as irrigation pumps, generators, tractors and combine harvesters. It also powers construction vehicles such as bulldozers, excavators and cranes.

    feature
    Power generation & Heating

    Biodiesel can be used to generate electricity in power plants, industrial facilities and backup generators. It is also a fuel for heating.

    Cleaning spills

    Biodiesel can be used as an emulsifier for cleaning up oil spills because it has the ability to dissolve and break down oil by emulsifying it.

    Lubrication

    Biodiesel can be used as a lubricant in a variety of applications, including industrial machinery, automotive engines and many more.



Advantages of Biodiesel

  1. Renewable and reduces our reliance on fossil fuels.
  2. Possesses a high flash point, making it less likely to ignite or explode.
  3. Reduces the risk of pollution.
  4. Can be used in most diesel engines with little or no modification.
  5. Biodegradable and contributes to a more sustainable energy system.
  6. Produced locally, reducing dependence on foreign imports.
