Bio Diesel
Some interesting initiatives underway in the Bio Diesel industry. A process known as "fast pyrolisys" of wood fibre will produce a good oil at %75 efficiency. The resulting oil though only has about %50 pf the BTUs of refined petro oils. Not so good for trucks but likely good for blending or home heating use. Governments are not road taxing the bio oils, or that portion of bio oil as blended with petro oils. So a 20% mix SHOULD result in a lower pump price for diesel. I understand that a mix is also good for the diesel engines. What I don't understand is why some NA manufacturers don't approve of purer bio oil use in their engines. Anyone?
Cheers
