** This is a biodiesel plant located in Alabama scanned by Technologies Fagerman. The LiDAR point cloud in this video took about 2.5 hours to capture with 3D Focus FARO. It was developed about 18 to 7 minutes each (in color). The point cloud was then diluted to 4 every point. Of course with 18 configurations much more was collected what can be seen in this video, but for illustrative purposes the majority of the cloud of points has been truncated. Music by Kevin MacLeod

Question by Daniel W: Is biodiesel market good for global warming?
Best answer:

Answer by shradha kerketta
Yes definately it helps ….

Answer by Michael is ninga
Actually biodiseal i heard has given engines a far greater boost then normal diseal. Wouldn’t bio diseal be more expensive then normal diseal? so then it’ll lose most of its market in the first place?

EDIT @ ADAM C
Global warming in a skeptics eyes is an illusion we saw past. So for those who think there is no global warming will think why take drastic/costly precautions to something that won’t happen?

Well, you can’t ship it with any traditional parcel post service since it is a hazardous material. Shipping it would likely cost more than the fuel it is trying to replace.

Answer by f100_supersabre
You can’t “ship” it by normal means, (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.) to start with.
You would probably need to buy a minimum amount of several thousand gallons, but you can try a refinery that makes it or, BUY the equipment and produce your own.

** Soy Biodiesel Video Rating: 5 / 5

** This is the second video on how to make biodiesel from used cooking oil. In this video I will show you how to do a test titration. This will help you determine the right amount of catalyst for us in your test batch in the batch and then complete. If you have any questions just ask .. Video Rating: 4 / 5

** Steve Chinosi NNHS teacher demonstrates how the school class “greengineering” create biodiesel fuel, as part of a project to make learning and commercialization of renewable products.

** Here’s a look at the bar cut and stamped during the polymerization process. The polymerization chamber has controlled temperature, humidity, and airflow. The bars are ready to use after curing for 1 week.

** This is a close-up video of jatropha seeds and the oil is produced from the seeds. The seeds of Jatropha yellow are ready to be harvested and crushed to produce oil to make biodiesel. There are many varieties of this plantation of jatropha in Florida, with most crops being almost ready to be harvested. I visited a farm that was growing different varieties of jatropha near Arcadia, Florida. The farmer was growing almost 50 hectares and was gradually expanded to 100 hectares of jatropha varieties from India, Malaysia, South America and Africa. He was buying most of its seeds from the internet. In my previous video, you can listen to the speech of many aspects of peasant cultivation of jatropha, including: freeze-Survive-Best ways to plant jatropha-irrigation techniques-spacing requirements and yields-the-types-planting jatropha Effects of irrigation and do not irrigate the planted jatropha The amount of jatropha will create several thousand liters of jatropha oil, which should be transformed into biodiesel to help offset the rising costs of fuel in large company. These videos have been seen in jatropha planted in 2009, and have already survived two winters, which makes them very resistant to cold and cold-resistant. I will be uploading another video of jatropha nuts and the oil produced from jatropha plants in this video.

Running straight vegetable oil doesn’t require methanol. If you need to convert oils and triglycerides then ethanol will also do it. But ethanol is drinking alcohol so you have to deal with the tax man and such when you make or handle ethanol.

Methanol isn’t as toxic as it is made out to be, but you do need to avoid drinking, inhaling or getting it all over you.

Answer by Nata T
there are processes that can use ethanol. The ethanol used is NOT, YES NOT taxable as a drinking alcohol if it is denatured. ethanol costs more because it has more energy, its all chemistry baby, all energy.

The best Hybrid we have only gets 45MPG and costs a lot more. These diesels are available now, and it seems to me they would be much better for the planet. I also understand diesel pollutes less than gasoline, so these cars would be much better for GW than Hybrids, wouldn’t they?
Campbell, I believe diesel from corn or veggie oil is diesel and does produce CO2 just like gas, only less. It also requires less energy to make than Gasoline or Gasahol.

Dana, as always out in La La Land. Maybe electrics, maybe better hybrids. Here we have a chance to cut our CO2 in half NOW with cheap cars that are available now. What might be is not here. Who cares about California? If they want to keep pumping more CO2 than the rest of us, then let them. Why should we wait on them?

Electric Cars Suck the majority of us that do not live in cities. Electric Cars just move the pollution from the city to out in the country where the Power Plants are. Case in point. Southern California pollutes New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada with all their power plants located over there so those bastards can have cheaper and no pollution – Just give it to Arizona- No Problem.

Answer by campbelp2002
All the really big users, like large trucks and trains and even many ships, are diesel. Small cars could be diesel too, but the buyers don’t seem to want to buy them all that much. But even if they did, it won’t stop the rise in CO2, only slow it. Unless all diesel in the world was bio diesel. So after there is enough bio diesel being made to fuel every single diesel truck, train, ship and car, then you might have an argument to convert small cars too. But you wouldn’t need to make an argument because if there was that much bio diesel being made, people would naturally want diesel cars to be able to use it.

So basically it is a complex collection of interrelated causes and effects that are hard to model or predict or control. Just like every environmental problem. Environmental problems are not simple and neither are the fixes. For example we started burning kerosene in oil lamps instead of whale oil, which was good for the whales, right? Then we started burning gasoline in cars and the streets were no longer covered in horse poop, which was good for the roads, right? And we started burning coal instead of wood, which was good for the forests, right? Now everybody says stop burning coal and oil, forgetting all the problems we solved by starting to burn them. It never will end because every solution brings with it new problems.

yes but detroit is in bed with big oil
