Biofuels: From the Fields to the Tank

            After harvest, the seeds are ground and pressed. The  crude Raps oil is distilled consecutively  through a 15-filter system. Raps known as Canola in the United States and Canada, is the alternative fuel known as Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO). Raps is also  the basis for the alternative fuel called Biodiesel. While SVO is pure Vegetable Oil as fuel,  Biodiesel, with Raps at its base, is catalyzed using methanol, ethanol, or aliphatic alcohol in a process called Transesterification.  According to the International Energy Agency, Biodiesel emissions are 50 percent lower than diesel made from fossil fuels.
