Biodiesel

Biodiesel is a type of diesel oil attained from the transesterification of the triglycerides fundamentally from vegetable oils, with a light alcohol (methanol, ethanol), to obtain esterified fatty acids with alcohol and glycerine that can be used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

Of all the energy consumed throughout the world, 85% comes from burning fossil fuels.

The advantages of bio fuels are:

• They reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
• They are biodegradable
• They lessen dependence in terms of energy on petroleum and gas.
