BioDiesel is Better
For You, for your Engine, for the Environment, for the Nation
Better For You:
* Unlike the aromatic hydrocarbons that compose petroleum fuels, biodiesel is non-toxic.
* You can ingest biodiesel with no harmful effects.
* You can wash your hands with biodiesel.
* Biodiesel smoke is non-carcinogenic and is actually pleasant to smell (especially important for
children riding in old, smoky school buses).
Better For Your Engine:
* Biodiesel is 5 times more lubricious than pre-CARB sulphated diesel fuel. Biodiesel has an even
greater
lubricity advantage over current ultra low sulphur fuels mandated by CARB.
* The higher lubricity allows for less engine wear (diesel engines rely on the fuel for lubrication), which
generates better mileage and lower operating temperatures.
* Quality, microbrewed biodiesel is an exceptionally clean and pure fuel, whereas the petroleum
diesel available in the U.S.is rated as one of the dirtiest fuels available in the world. Even Mexicos'
diesel fuel is of better quality than the U.S.s'. This results in less filter and fuel system clogging
when using quality biodiesel.
* Biodiesel is a strong solvent that cleans, and keeps clean, your fuel injection system.
* Biodiesel has a higher Cetane Number than petro-diesel, which allows the engine to run more
efficiently, again contributing to better mileage.
Better for the Environment:
* Biodiesel is non-toxic and biodegradeable. Fish will eat it, and spills biodegrade faster than sugar.
* Biodiesel production occurs completely within the real time carbon fixing cycle. No more carbon is
released into the atmosphere than was taken out by the plants that produced it; as opposed to
petroleum, which contributes to global warming by releasing historically stored carbon into the
atmosphere.
* Biodiesel can be produced from an existing waste product that is itself produced from renewable
crops.
* The Bee Hive BioDiesel Production System is itself built out of reclaimed waste stream components.
* Biodiesel production converts an existing waste product into multiple useful revenue streams: fuel,
soaps and degreasers, compost, and FireDust ( an evolutionary new heat source).
* Buring Biodiesel instead of petroleum results in:
94% fewer carcinogens.
75% fewer greenhouse gases that contribute to smog.
55% less particulates that degrade ozone.
55% less hydrocarbons/VOCs.
100% less sulphur that contributes to acid rain.
Better For The Nation:
* The entire biodiesel production cycle occurs locally, requiring absolutely no foreign imports.
* Distributed Production models are inherently resistant to disruption by natural disasters or terrorist
acts.
* Producing biodiesel locally also produces local employment and keeps local funds local.
