Biodiesel
Biodiesel was invented in Belgium by G. Chavanne; it was originally made from vegetable oil. But in the Philippines it is usually made with coconut oil. Even though it would be cheaper and a cleaner burn, not many Philippine people use it. Although 1 gas company in the Philippines does make a biodiesel blend of fuel. They are not allowed by the government to sell it cheaper than regular diesel. I believe this is because the government is being pressured by the larger gas companies that don’t sell biodiesel.
How much cheaper is it to make biodiesel rather than buying diesel? Does it work just as well as diesel? Why don’t more Philippine people use it? Would it give more jobs to Philippine people, or would it take them away? How long does it take to make a batch of biodiesel? What are all the ingredients to make biodiesel? Are all the ingredients produced in the Philippines? Why doesn’t the government like the sale of cheap fuel? What type of oil is the best to make the biodiesel with?
The purpose of this project will be to research the creation of biodiesel. And also to see the cheapest way to make biodiesel in the Philippines. I will look up the easiest way to make biodiesel and the try to make a small portion. Because the biodiesel dose not work right away in a car I will most likely not tested by its self. You can’t just put pure biodiesel into a car right away. You must slowly let the car get used to the biodiesel; this is done by mixing more and more biodiesel into the regular fuel. Like right now our family buys a biodiesel blend from the Fling V. Of course biodiesel doesn’t work on all cars only diesels.
I hope that I will be able to prove the effectiveness and the cost of biodiesel is better or just as good as most fuels. The reason why I choose this subject was because I noticed the problems in the Philippines and world wide of the lack of fuel. I hope that it will help poor people to be able to afford a cheap and clean burning fuel.
