Disadvantages of Biodiesel

Variation in Quality of Biodiesel.

Not Suitable for use in Low Temperatures.

Diesel Engine Rubber Seals and Hoses (Biodiesel should not be used in diesel engines which use rubber hoses and rubber seals in the fuel system (usually manufactured pre 1992).

Bio DieselMade by chemically combining any natural oil or

fat with an alcohol

Most European Countries, North America and Canada have active Biodiesel programmed

France currently the largest producer

USA produced 30 million gallons in 2004.

BIODIESEL / DIESEL DATA

Biodiesel contains ~10% oxygen Consequently, slight increase in the apparent fuel

consumption rate 2% for B20 blend; 14% for B100 (Cummins engine)

Brake-specific fuel consumption figures Petrodiesel 0.43 lb/HP-hr B20 0.44 “ B100 0.50 “

BIODIESEL vs OTHER ALTERNATE FUELS

Planning commission Committee formedReport

Indian Railways – Planted 7.5 million Jatropha plants on railway trackBureau of Industrial Standards (BIS) has given specification for pure bio-diesel (B100)Oil marketing companies to make available comprehensive industry guidelines “Operation, Quality & SafetyIOC R&D taken up extensive studies

Initiatives taken by Govt.

Feed stock souring own /external source Long term contract

Technology Appropriate for multi food stock Etraction of value added feed stock like phytochemical

formulations during pre treatment Product quality Economic consumption of chemicals

Domestic Export

Glycerin quality & outlet Process plant size Transportation Infrastructure sharing

Issues for Investors

Long term plan for Energy Encourage production & usage of bio fuels Standards notification Directive /policy on procurement distribution &

allocation of seeds / oils Firm Selling Price Policy on Excise & Sales Tax Encouraging Policy Customs duty Waiver on non-edible oils import & machinery

initially

Long Term Govt. Policies
