Known as “ecological fuel”, biodiesel It is produced from clean and renewable sources: vegetable oils (soybean and cotton, for example), and animal fat. Therefore, it is a natural and less polluting option, since its combustion releases much lower levels of pollution compared to fossil fuels. Currently, biodiesel is experiencing its moment of improvement and prominence, but the idea of creating a different alternative to common fuels began to be thought of in the mid-70s.
On August 10, 1893, Rudolf Diesel used the first piston internal combustion engine that explored the effects of a chemical reaction, a natural phenomenon that occurs when oil is injected into a container with oxygen, causing an explosion when mixed. if. To accomplish the feat, the engineer used peanut oil obtained through transesterification.
O Biodiesel is a fuel from a clean and renewable source that generates employment and income for rural families through self-sustainable agriculture, boosting the economy of many regions. This reduces global dependence on fuels derived from petroleum, which in addition to pollutants are extracted from a finite energy matrix. Let's celebrate the sustainability of the planet, let's celebrate biodiesel day.
