Abstract:
Diesel vehicles are the major source for air pollution; there is great potential for global warming due to discharge of greenhouse gases like CO2 from vehicles. Many lung problems are connected with particulate matter emitted by diesel vehicle including dust, soot and smoke. People are exposed to pollution even as they talk or when stir up the dust when they walk. Biodiesel is a nontoxic, biodegradable and renewable fuel. Compared to diesel fuel, biodiesel produces no sulfur, no net carbon dioxide, less carbon monoxide and more oxygen. More free oxygen leads to the complete combustion and reduced emission. Overall biodiesel emissions are very less compared to diesel fuel emissions which is promising pollution free environment. Abundant source of vegetable oil in India and its ease of conversion to biodiesel help to save large expenditure done on import of petroleum products and economic growth of country. Biodiesel also generate huge rural employment and degraded lands can be restored due to plantation of oil plants which helps in reducing pollution. Lot of work is going on in different countries on different types of vegetable oils like sunflower oil, karanji oil, linseed oil, soya bean oil, palm oil and many more, which can be used in those countries. Our research is in progress on show a new approach for logistic and distribution of biodiesel in Bulgaria. Research is going on in right direction and likely to get surprising results.
