Biodiesel refers to a non-petroleum-based diesel fuel consisting of short chain alkyl (methyl or ethyl) esters, made

by Transesterfication of vegetable oil or animal fat (tallow), which can be used (alone, or blended with
conventional petrodiesel) in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles. Biodiesel is distinguished from the straight
vegetable oil (SVO) (sometimes referred to as "waste vegetable oil", "WVO", "used vegetable oil", "UVO", "pure
plant oil", "PPO") used (alone, or blended) as fuels in some converted diesel vehicles. "Biodiesel" is standardized
as mono-alkyl ester.

Biodiesel is a biofuel produced from various feedstock’s including vegetable oils (such as oilseed, rapeseed and
soya bean), animal fats or algae. Biodiesel can be blended with diesel for use in diesel engine vehicles. Biofuel –
The term biofuel applies to any solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel produced from organic (once-living) matter. The
word biofuel covers a wide range of products, some of which are commercially available today, and some of
which are still in research and development. Biodiesel is a fuel made from plant oils that can be used in a
conventional diesel engine.

Biodiesel is an environmentally safe, low polluting fuel for most diesel internal combustion and turbine engines.
Can be mixed with petroleum diesel fuel and stored anywhere petroleum is. It is made from fresh or waste
vegetable oils (triglycerides) that are a renewable energy source.

Bio-diesel is an eco-friendly, alternative diesel fuel prepared from domestic renewable resources that is
vegetables oils (edible & non-edible oil) and animal fats. These natural oils & fats are made up mainly of
tryglycerides. These tryglycerides when reacted chemically with lower alcohols in presence of catalyst result in
fatty acid esters. These esters show striking similarity to petroleum derived diesel and are called “Bio-diesel”.

Biodiesel produced from a 30 MTPD Processing Plant set up at Domjur, Howrah for one
of our clients by Biodiesel Technologies Kolkata, India is surpassing ASTM, BIS
and EN Standards
Importance of Bio Diesel:
Bio-diesel is the most valuable form of renewable energy that can be used directly in any existing, unmodified
diesel engine.

I.Energy Independence: Considering that oil priced at $ 60 per barrel has had a disproportionate impact on the
poorest countries, 38 of which are net importers and 25 of Which import all of their oil; the question of trying to
achieve greater energy independence one day through the development of bio-fuels has become one of ‘when’
rather than ‘if,’ and, now on a near daily basis, a bio-fuels programme is being launched somewhere in the
developing world.

II.Smaller Trade Deficit: Rather than importing other countries’ ancient natural resources, we could be using
our own living resources to power our development and enhance our economies. Instead of looking to the Mid-
east for oil, the world could look to the tropics for bio-fuels. producing more bio-fuels will save foreign exchange
and reduce energy expenditures and allow developing countries to put more of their resources into health,
education and other services for their neediest citizens.

III.Economic Growth: Bio-fuels create new markets for agricultural products and stimulate rural development
because bio-fuels are generated from crops; they hold enormous potential for farmers. In the near future—
especially for the two-thirds of the people in the developing world who derive their incomes from
agriculture.Today, many of these farmers are too small to compete in the global market, especially with the
playing field tilted against them through trade distorting agricultural subsidies. They are mostly subsistence
farmers who, in a good year, produce enough to feed their families, and in a bad year, grow even poorer or
starve. But bio-fuels have enormous potential to change this situation for the better.At the community level,
farmers that produce dedicated energy crops can grow their incomes and grow their own supply of affordable and
reliable energy.At the national level, producing more bio-fuels will generate new industries, new technologies,
new jobs and new markets.

IV.Cleaner Air: Bio-fuels burn more cleanly than gasoline and diesel. Using biofuels means producing fewer
emissions of carbon monoxide, particulates, and toxic chemicals that cause smog, aggravate respiratory and heart
disease, and contribute to thousands of premature deaths each year.

V.Less Global Warming: Bio-fuels contain carbon that was taken out of the atmosphere by plants and trees as
they grew. The Fossil fuels are adding huge amounts of stored carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, where it
traps the Earth's heat like a heavy blanket and causes the world to warm. Studies show that bio-diesel reduces
CO2 emissions to a considerable extent and in some cases all most nearly to zero.

Biodiesel in Environment Concern:

Biodiesel fuel burns up to 75% cleaner than diesel fuel made from fossil fuels. Bio diesel substantially reduces
unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter in exhaust fumes. Sulphur dioxide emissions
are 100% eliminated (bio diesel contains no sulphur). This alternative fuel is plant-based and adds absolutely no
CO2 to the atmosphere.

Biofuel exhaust is not offensive and doesn't cause eye irritation. Vehicles do not spew out vile black
fumes/particulates. In fact if you make your fuel from used cooking oil it may even smell of chips. Biodiesel is
environmentally friendly: it is renewable, "more biodegradable than sugar and less toxic than table salt" (US
National Biodiesel Board).

Biodiesel was the first renewable fuel to successfully complete the EPA-required Health Effects esting under the
Clean Air Act. Mutagenicity studies show that biofuel dramatically reduces potential risks of cancer and birth
defects.

Biodiesel helps preserve natural resources. For every unit of energy needed to produce biodiesel, 3.24 units of
energy are gained - nearly four times more than diesel.

 Developed in the 1890s by inventor Rudolph Diesel, the diesel engine has become the engine of choice for
power, reliability, and high fuel economy, worldwide. Early experimenters on vegetable oil fuels included the
French government and Dr. Diesel himself, who envisioned that pure vegetable oils could power early diesel
engines for agriculture in remote areas of the world, where petroleum was not available at the time. Modern
biodiesel fuel, which is made by converting vegetable oils into compounds called fatty acid methyl esters, has its
roots in research conducted in the 1930s in Belgium, but today’s biodiesel industry was not established in Europe
until the late 1980s.

The diesel engine was developed out of a desire to improve upon inefficient, cumbersome and sometimes
dangerous steam engines of the late 1800s. The diesel engine works on the principal of compression ignition, in
which fuel is injected into the engine’s cylinder after air has been compressed to a high pressure and temperature.
As the fuel enters the cylinder it self-ignites and burns rapidly, forcing the piston back down and converting the
chemical energy in the fuel into mechanical energy. Dr. Rudolph Diesel, after whom the engine is named, holds
the first patent for the compression ignition engine, issued in 1893. Diesel became known worldwide for his
innovative engine which could use a variety of fuels.

The concept of bio fuel dates back to 1885 when Dr. Rudolf Diesel built the first diesel engine with the full
intention of running it on vegetative source. In 1912 he observed, "the use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may
seem insignificant today. But such oils may in the course of time become as important as petroleum and the coal
tar products of present time."

In 1970, scientists discovered that the viscosity of vegetable oils could be reduced by a simple chemical process
and that it could perform as diesel fuel in modern engine. Since then the technical developments have come a
long way and the plant oil today has been highly established as bio fuel, equivalent to diesel.

Recent environmental (e.g. Kyoto Protocol) and economic concerns have prompted resurgence in the use of
biodiesel throughout the world. In 1991, the European Community proposed a 90% tax reduction for the use of
bio fuels, including biodiesel. Today 21 countries worldwide produce biodiesel.

India is one of the largest petroleum consuming and importing countries. India imports about 70 % of its
petroleum demands. The current yearly consumption of diesel oil in India is approximately 40 million tones
constituting about 40% of the total petro-product consumption.

Biodiesel, derived from the oils and fats of plants like sunflower, rape seeds, Canola or Jatropha (Bhagveranda)
can be used as a substitute or an additive to diesel. As an alternative fuel biodiesel can provide power similar to
conventional diesel fuel and thus can be used in diesel engines. Biodiesel is a renewable liquid fuel that can be
produced locally thus helping reduce the country’s dependence on imported crude petroleum diesel.

Early Work
The early diesel engines had complex injection systems and were designed to run on many different fuels, from
kerosene to coal dust. It was only a matter of time before someone recognized that, because of their high energy
content, vegetable oils would make excellent fuel. The first public demonstration of vegetable oil based diesel
fuel was at the 1900 World’s Fair, when the French government commissioned the Otto Company to build a
diesel engine to run on peanut oil. The French government was interested in vegetable oils as a domestic fuel for
 their African colonies. Rudolph Diesel later did extensive work on vegetable oil fuels and became a leading
proponent of such a concept, believing that farmers could benefit from providing their own fuel. However, it
would take almost a century before such an idea became a widespread reality. Shortly after Dr. Diesel’s death in
1913 petroleum became widely available in a variety of forms, including the class of fuel we know today as
“diesel fuel”. With petroleum being available and cheap, the diesel engine design was changed to match the
properties of petroleum diesel fuel. The result was an engine which was fuel efficient and very powerful. For the
next 80 years diesel engines would become the industry standard where power, economy and reliability are
required.

Modern Engine: Modern Fuel:

Due to the widespread availability and low cost of petroleum diesel fuel, vegetable oil-based fuels gained little
attention, except in times of high oil prices and shortages. World War II and the oil crises of the 1970’s saw brief
interest in using vegetable oils to fuel diesel engines. Unfortunately, the newer diesel engine designs could not
run on traditional vegetable oils, due to the much higher viscosity of vegetable oil compared to petroleum diesel
fuel. A way was needed to lower the viscosity of vegetable oils to a point where they could be burned properly in
the diesel engine. Many methods have been proposed to perform this task, including pyrolysis, blending with
solvents, and even emulsifying the fuel with water or alcohols, none of which have provided a suitable solution.
It was a Belgian inventor in 1937 who first proposed using Transesterfication to convert vegetable oils into fatty
acid alkyl esters and use them as a diesel fuel replacement. The process of Transesterfication converts vegetable
oil into three smaller molecules which are much less viscous and easy to burn in a diesel engine. The
Transesterfication reaction is the basis for the production of modern biodiesel, which is the trade name for fatty
acid methyl esters. In the early 1980s concerns over the environment, energy security, and agricultural
overproduction once again brought the use of vegetable oils to the forefront, this time with Transesterfication as
the preferred method of producing such fuel replacements.

Headquartered in Kolkata India, Biodiesel Technologies was conceived in 2002 in
response to the serious environmental and health hazards arising out of the various
polluting emissions casing our environment. Mr. Amitabha Sinha, the sole proprietor of
the organization proposed a journey for the present society at large from the present
polluted and harmful environment back to the green and pure environment as it was ages
before. He thought of developing an alternative source of energy that can reduce
pollution levels in our country, organic in nature. Soon his thought were materialised into
action when the idea/concept of manufacturing Biodiesel Processing Plants crystallized.
The feedstock used was organic in character which produced Biodiesel as per the ASTM,
EN and BIS Standards. This marked the beginning of our organization. Since the
