The following reasons are a good starting point for understanding why biodiesel is the right and preferred choice of energy.
Let's say it loud and clear, making biodiesel saves money! If you make biodiesel at home, you can save more than 80% of your petro-diesel expenses. The fact that making biodiesel is an easy process encourages more and more people to use biodiesel.
Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oil or animal fat. These resources can be re-grown and are recyclable unlike crude oil which is limited and needs millions of years to be formed. When using biodiesel instead of petro-diesel, the demand for crude oil products is reduced and as a result their prices decrease.
While using biodiesel the exhaust emission is significantly less polluting. According to studies, there are several parameters sulpher derivatives, hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide that are reduced when using biodiesel for running diesel engines.
The more we use biodiesel instead of petro-diesel, the less dependent we are on (crude oil). It means that the crude oil companies and, in many cases, countries, have less domination on other countries in the aspect of energy resources. This will lead for a better balanced world.
Experience shows that when engines are run on biodiesel, lubrication is improved compared to petro-diesel fuel. The higher quality lubrication enable the engine to work in a smoother manner, and because it works better it reduce the physical deterioration of the engine.
