Bio-oil Jatropha oil can be converted into biodiesel via a chemical process. Biodiesel is very comparable to fossil diesel and can be used in conventional diesel engines, without any engine modifications. Biodiesel can also be mixed with conventional diesel without any limitations. Biodiesel is biodegradable and does not contain Sulphur or aromatics. The main driving force for use of biodiesel is the reduction in the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. Experiences Millions of cars drive daily on biodiesel. Experiences of users are highly positive. They find that their vehicles perform better, are quieter, emit less harmful substances and create less unpleasant odours. In short, the car performs as one is used to, but on a renewable fuel. Straight Vegetable Oil It is also possible to drive on unaltered vegetable oil ( 'straight vegetable oil', or SVO). This does require a modification of the engine, however. Since the costs of modifications need to be earned through reduced fuel costs, this option is particularly interesting for large consumers such as fleetowners. The life time of the engine will not be influenced by the modifcation, nor will the operational availability be.   Technical details about the oil: Technical specifications: Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) The MSDS-sheet is developed by door prof. Makkar from the university of Hohenheim in cooperation with our collegea from Bioshape.   BTI (Binding Tarif Information) for jatropha is NL RTD-2009-001782. The GN code is 1515 , 1515 90 and 1515 90 40.
