Question

Which form of biomass do you prefer and why?

Answer 1

I would prefer Biodiesel because Biodiese is a fuel made by chemically reacting alcohol with vegetable oils, animal fats, or
greases, such as recycled restaurant grease. Most biodiesel today is made from soybean oil.
Biodiesel is most often blended with petroleum diesel in ratios of two percent (B2), five  percent (B5), or 20 percent (B20). It can also be used as neat (pure) biodiesel (B100).
Biodiesel fuels are compatible with and can be used in unmodifed diesel engines with the existing fueling infrastructure. It is one of the fastest growing transportation fuels in the U.S.
Biodiesel contains virtually no sulfur, so it can reduce sulfur levels in the nation’s diesel fuel supply, even compared with today’s low sulfur fuels. While removing sulfur from
petroleum-based diesel results in poor lubrication, biodiesel is a superior lubricant and can reduce the friction of diesel fuel in blends of only one or two percent. This is an important
characteristic because the Environmental Protection Agency now requires that sulfur levels in diesel fuel be 97 percent lower than they were prior to 2006
