Biodiesel is a liquid fuel obtained by transesterification from renewable raw materials such as, for instance, vegetable oils or animal fats. If compared to fossil fuels, this type of fuel offers a lot of advantages:

Reduction of dust emissions down to 50%

Absence of benzene and of other carcinogenic components

Very low content of Sulphur (< 0.001%) that provokes the phenomenon of acid rains

It develops a closed loop of CO2 (the quantity of CO2 released by its combustion is equal to that absorbed by plants from the air during their growing process).

As it has a high flash point, it is not classified as dangerous material, consequently it can be handled easily and safely

High biodegradation.

High lubricating power.
