Biodiesel is used to refer to renewable fuels that can be burned in a diesel engine. Biodiesel is most often made from the oil extracted from a variety of plants, such as peanuts or soybeans, although it can also be made from animal fats. Vegetable oil needs treatment before it can be burned.

Wood Gas

Methanol has progressed a long way since the days of its production by the destructive distillation of wood. It's now sustainably produced alongside other biofuels, such as ethanol. It represents a more affordable, available way for individuals, organizations, and countries to reduce carbon.

Energy Technology

Some 1.4 billion people worldwide live without access to electricity. About 2.7 billion cook and heat traditionally with firewood or other biomass with negative consequences for household member's health and the environment. Without energy, no food can be cooked. Without lighting public life comes to a halt at dusk. Plants need energy to produce. Social facilities such as hospitals need energy to cool their medication. Granting people access to modern energy sources is therefore a key challenge of the 21st Century...Energypedia.info
