Biofuel for Conventional Diesel Engines Created

In accordance with an EU directive, conventional automotive diesel is supplemented with seven percent biodiesel. This proportion is set to rise to ten percent by 2020. However, this presents a significant technical challenge: biodiesel vaporises at higher temperatures, which can lead to problems with electronic fuel injection systems and particulate filters. Researchers have developed a method for producing a petroleum diesel-like fuel from conventional biodiesel at low temperatures. …read more
