Average biodiesel emissions

Table 10.2 Average biodiesel emissions (%) compared with conventional diesel.

TABLE 3.6 Average Biodiesel Emissions (%) Compared to Conventional Diesel ... 

A comparison of the emissions of average biodiesel to conventional diesel is presented in Table 3.6. Table 3.7 displays the average changes in mass emissions from diesel engines using biodiesel mixtures relative to standard diesel fuel. 

Table 4.3 Average emissions from biodiesel compared to conventional diesel.

In comparison, the average tree consumes only 1 ton of COz in a lifetime, and an acre of rainforest consumes about 500 tons yearly. When agribusiness, the ethylene industry, or pulp and paper corporations turn forests or rainforests into farmland, they also destroy an effective consumer of COz. The world s fastest-disappearing forests are in Indonesia, where they are cut down either to make paper pulp or to be replaced by palm oil plantations. Palm oil is mostly used to make biodiesel fuels. Tropical deforestation not only results in COz emissions (20% of the global total), but it also poisons the rivers.
