The non-renewability, environmental issues and health dangers associated with the fossil fuels has actually resulted in exploration of alternative sources of energy to substitute the conventional ones. An appealing innovation, still in its infancy, that might show us the method to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels originated from vegetable oil or animal-fat that could be utilized to run diesel engines. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, Jatropha etc can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It includes no petroleum but can be combined with petroleum diesel for usage or might be used in its pure form.

Developed nations particularly United States and European Countries have actually already made significant advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have actually found its usage throughout markets and verticals and could become an ideal cleaner and cheaper option to petrol, diesel and fossil fuels. India has actually also begun checking out the opportunities to produce and utilize bio-diesel. A variety of plants for biodiesel transesterification are already functioning in the nation where veggie oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol generally) to produce bio-diesel.

The main factor for the increasing demand for biodiesels is the truth that biodiesels are sustainable and carbon-neutral, thus having no net influence on the climate. Besides, bio-diesel operates in compression engines similar to typical petroleum diesel and hence can be used with little or no engine modifications. Biodiesel do not need any different infrastructure for its storage and can be kept simply like the petroleum based fuels.

Considering the growing energy need in the nation, rising petroleum rates and the environmental risks of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has used up efforts to establish the Bio Diesel Technology in India and established more units. The Government revealed its 'National Biofuel Policy' on 12 September 2008 which aims to fulfill 20% of India's diesel demand with bio-fuels in the coming years.
