Advantages, disadvantages and environmental effects of biodiesel fuel

U radu su pojašnjene glavne ekološke, ekonomske i gospodarske prednosti i nedostaci biodizelskog goriva, te ekološki učinci. U distribuciji i proizvodnji biodizel nije opasan, nije štetan za zdravlje, nije lako zapaljiv te nije opasan u smislu zagađivanja voda i zraka. Primjenom biodizelskoga goriva značajno se doprinosi očuvanju okoliša, budući da je uz smanjenje štetnih plinova znatno manje stakleničkih plinova. Biodizelsko gorivo je biorazgradivo te se time smanjuje rizik zagađivanja tla i voda.In this article the main ecological, economical and commercial advantages and disadvantages of biodiesel fuel are being explained, as well as ecological effects. When distributed or produced, biodiesel is not dangerous, a health hazard, easily flammable or a pollution hazard for water and air. Usage of biodiesel fuel significantly contributes to environmental protection because it lowers the harmful gases emission and with it the greenhouse gas emission. Biodiesel fuel is biodegradable and as such lowers the pollution hazard for soil and water
