Biodiesel is a climate-friendly and sustainable fuel
Alternative energy sources are on the rise globally in response to concerns about conventional (fossil) fuel sources and the necessity for environmentally friendly options. Biofuels are fulfilling the demand for a modern, regenerative and low CO2 emitting fuel. For the transportation sector, bioethanol and biodiesel have become very popular and their use is mandatory in many countries all over the world. The use of e.g. rapeseed-based biodiesel achieves a CO2 saving of around 60% compared with conventional diesel. It is also more biodegradable than mineral diesel and therefore also less hazardous to water.
Biodiesel is an important building block for reducing emissions in the transport sector
Biodiesel can already be used in many mobility sectors where electromobility cannot yet be implemented on a large scale - for example, in overseas and agricultural machinery. Biodiesel builds on existing technologies and infrastructures. Increasing amounts of biodiesel are used in cars, trucks, buses, off-road vehicles, aircrafts, locomotives, marine vessels as well as stationary power and heat generation.
Baynox® makes the use of biodiesel and thus climate-friendly mobility possible
Biodiesel must be stabilized against oxidation by air or metals, otherwise by-products are formed that can damage the engine or fuel system. Baynox® prevents oxidation of biodiesel. The antioxidant works independently of the raw material used to produce the biodiesel in question. Antioxidants interrupt the oxidation circle by trapping the intermediately formed hydroperoxides. This stops the formation of radicals and the antioxidant is oxidized instead of the biofuel. Adding oxidation stabilizers increases shelf life and keeps the biodiesel fresh, even when stored for longer periods.
Why use Baynox® antioxidants?
Biodiesel has poor storage stability compared with petro diesel. Ageing arises from the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acid esters, which are present in biodiesel made from vegetable oils, animal fats and used cooking oils. It is initiated by radicals, formed by the interaction of light, oxygen and metal ions with the fatty acid esters, and leads to the formation of volatile free acids and polymers. Acids can corrode both the engine/tank and the fuel injection system. Polymers leads to filter plugging and incomplete combustion.To prevent such damage, it is essential that biodiesel is stabilized by antioxidants. Antioxidants interrupt the oxidation circle by trapping the intermediately formed hydroperoxides. This stops the formation of radicals and the antioxidant is oxidized instead of the biofuel. Adding oxidation stabilizers increases shelf life and keeps the biodiesel fresh, even when stored for longer periods.
Baynox® is the gold standard for all biodiesel qualities, it shows outstanding performance in low dosage and effectively extends the shelf life.
