Making diesel fuels environmentally friendly

From peanut oil to methane gas. The fuels powering the diesel engine have undergone considerable development during its 119 year long history. So much so that today, even the fuel we traditionally, if somewhat simplistically, refer to as ‘diesel’ is beginning to make way for alternatives with a smaller environmental footprint, such as biogas and DME.

Mulch Moke - Carbon Neutral Car BiofuelAll Comments (1)Respond to this video... This is the diriection of a clear alternative to power out. We need this really badly if we are to survive the coming "suit job Armageddon". We have to look at heat capture and general energy recovery and capture. Gasoline is good fuel, but specifically designed to cast off or throw away as a waste product when used in an internal combustion engine. Good job anyway The dedicated drive gases engine would be the ones that are banished from use. hypnofan35 3 weeks...

Potential Anti-Cancer Drug Used as Biofuel

Potential Anti-Cancer Drug Used as Biofuel Jatropha curcas is the name of a castor oil plant that would have little meaning to us because it is not a food, or a commonly used medicinal plant. However, it is a plant that could play a significant role in global health if it was explored enough to challenge the plantations of Jatropha curcas being cultivated for the sole purpose of biofuels. Jatropha curcas is a plant native to Africa, Asia, and South America, and has become naturalized in South Egypt. It is a low growing tree that produces...
