Overview
This category refers to alternative liquid fuel derived from renewable biological sources such as vegetable oils and animal fats. It is produced via transesterification to meet ASTM D6751 or EN 14214 standards, serving as a biodegradable substitute for conventional petroleum diesel in existing infrastructure.
Application
- Transportation: Used in heavy-duty trucks and commercial fleets to reduce carbon emissions without engine modification.
- Industrial Power: Powers stationary generators and backup systems for data centers and manufacturing plants.
- Agriculture: Fuels tractors and harvesters to lower operational costs and environmental impact.
Precautions
- Safety: Requires proper ventilation and fire suppression systems due to flash point variations compared to fossil fuels.
- Maintenance: Fuel filters must be inspected monthly to prevent microbial growth and sediment clogging.
- Storage: Tanks should be kept below 40°C and sealed tightly to minimize oxidation and water contamination risks.
