JMK's Biodiesel

            Biodiesel has many environmental effects on the planet. Some effects are that it would reduce the need for foreign oil and fossil fuels. Also, it would reduce emission from vehicle engines and green house gases. Biodiesel also tends to be a lower price compared to normal gasoline. The average price for biodiesel in 2010/2011 is $1.15 per gallon compared to over $3.00 per gallon of regular unleaded gas. In fact the resources to create biodiesel is a renewable source. Finally, if there is a surplus of a crop, it can be used to create the diesel, utilizing a way to control it without drastic measures.

            Biodiesel also has its own disadvantages. The contents in biodiesel breaks rubber down with contact. This would cause most gas stations to have to change their gas pumps because the pumps are made from a rubber material. In addition, biodiesel has a short self-live. Also, the B-100 biodiesel has many problems in cold climate areas. Even though biodiesel is made from everyday items such as corn and vegetable oil, if there is a decrease in those materials for biodiesel, we are going to have the same problem that we do with regular gas.

            Biodiesel has both economic advantages and disadvantages around the world. For countries, such as the Middle Eastern countries, that depend on the exporting of gas there economy it will be effected horribly due to less need of normal gasoline and oil. On the other hand, countries such as the United States and China, who depend greatly on fuel, would benefit greatly with the importing of biodiesel. Also, depending on the blend and purity of the diesel, the prices can rise up, costing up to $3.00 per gallon. If bio diesel does become standard, most cars today would need to either changed or modified to use the new gas. Finally, the use of corn and other valuable food crops would change in price due to the use of biodiesel.
