Poverty and pollution Free Rice Bran Biodiesel by parvenbd1

Hi, I like this idea using rice bran for biodiesel. But I have a question about the emission part: "given that diesel #2 is known to spew 22.3 pounds of CO2 per gallon, if we substitute 1 gallon of B-100, made from recycled veg. oil for 1 gallon of diesel # 2 we will save 19.6 pounds of CO2 from contributing to the warming of our planet. If we use virgin soybean oil, we’ll only save 17.3 pounds." I was wondering how these numbers are calculated, aka 19.6 pounds and 17.3 pounds of CO2 reduction. Could you kindly give me some reference? Thanks! -Xiaoyu

Greetings. Next Thanks a lot to honorable xywu for your valuable question. I feel humble; "given that diesel #2 is known to spew 22.3 pounds of CO2 per gallon, if we substitute 1 gallon of B-100, made from recycled veg. oil for 1 gallon of diesel # 2 we will save 19.6 pounds of CO2 from contributing to the warming of our planet.

What we’ve discovered is that using biodiesel in our diesel engines is far and away the most dramatic and efficient way to shrink and accomplish our goal. The US EPA has spent a lot of time studying biodiesel. In fact, no other alternative transportation fuel has been as thoroughly vetted. Here’s what they’ve concluded: Basically, they have tested biodiesel every which way and concluded that it’s emissions are significantly less than dirty diesel. Now, Califonia’s Air Resource Board will also tell you that if you make biodiesel from waste vegetable oil (we refer to it as “recycled”) you will actually reduce your carbon emissions by 90%. (http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/072009lcfs_uco_bd.pdf) What does this mean? Well, given that diesel #2 is known to spew 22.3 pounds of CO2 per gallon, if we substitute 1 gallon of B-100, made from recycled veg. oil, waste grainproduct /RiceBran Biodieselfor 1 gallon of diesel # 2 we will save 19.6 pounds of CO2 from contributing to the warming of our planet. If we use virgin soybean oil, we’ll only save 17.3 pounds. Either way, we hope we’ll agree that biodiesel is good for our planet. And Springboard Biodiesel is proud of the fact that our 700+ BioPro™ biodiesel processors represent over 5MM gallons of annual production capacity, which means that we could potentially be assisting with the extraction or abatement of over 96MM pounds of CO2 annually! Finally, it is important to note that diesel particulate matter is one of the deadliest airborn carcinogenics. Accourding to one source, diesel particulate matter is 10X more carcinogenic than all other airborn pollutants combined!

Greetings to honorable Bruno Gomes and thanks for your mail.I feel humble.Firstpls look my answer next thinkabout its an idea stage not implemented project''proposed project''as RiceBran Oil is available worldwide and utilize as Soyabean, Canola thatswhy i gave GHG emission reduction brief from EPA .If you can assist to get accurate figure from RiceBran Oil to Biodiesel, I would give you hundredtimes my hearfelt thanks, pls assist me on this matter to get it.Thanks and I am waiting for your replying.Best Regards.
