Bio Fuels
At JAT Oil, we understand the need for cleaner burning fuels and renewable energy sources. We are doing our part in meeting this need through the use of biofuels. If your company is interested in using biofuels, JAT Oil can help you design and implement a successful biofuels plan.
What Are Biofuels?
Biofuels are fuels produced from biomass. Biofuels fall into two broad categories; first generation biofuels and second generation biofuels. These categories are based on their feedstock and the process used to produce the finished product.
First-generation biofuels are produced in one of two ways. One way is through the fermentation of either starch-based food products, such as corn kernels, or sugar-based food products, such as sugar cane, into ethanol. An alternate way is by processing vegetable oils, such as soy, rapeseed, and palm, into biodiesel.
Second-generation biofuels are made from a wider variety of nonfood sources, such as cellulose, algae, and recovered waste products.
What Are The Benefits Of Biofuels?
- Biofuels are made from renewable resources, such as soybeans. This means their sources can be re-grown. In addition, it also helps contribute to the economy of the United States and reduces our dependence on foreign oil companies.
- When compared to petroleum diesel, biodiesel is better for the environment because of lower carbon emissions and lower sulfur.
