Just fill this simple form to estimate is it worth to buy biodiesel at current price:
* required fields
How it is calculated?
Calculation is based mainly on two sources:
- physicial properties of fuels and engines (density, Gibbs free energy, BSFC, engine efficiency and few others):
Fuel type | Density (kg/l) | Energy (MJ/kg) |
petroleum oil | 0.85 | 42.5-45.3 |
biodiesel | 0.88 | 37.27-39.9 |
- extrapolation of data from empiricial test conducted by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland (long range test of car fuel consumption for E10 and E5 petrol).
