Biodiesel Rulez!!! [ARCHIVED]

[garyq]

bratski: bro minimal positive effects ng BD sa fuel consumption. A lot lesser sa harmful emissions ang #1 effect nyan. Ano ba oto mo bro? 3-4 km/liter ka lang?

Or maybe it degunked the fuel system of any dirt kaya medyo nabara yung fuel filter. Check mo lang and see if it's clean. If not palitan mo yung fuel filter

Flying V, TIP to test 20% CME blend

Flying V has forged a partnership with the Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP) to test the possible use of 20 percent coco-methyl ester (CME) in vehicles.

Based on the agreement, biodiesel pioneer Flying V and TIP, one of the country’s leading technical schools, will establish the Institute for Advance Biofuel Research (FV-IABR) at the TIP-Taguig campus.

Flying V chairman Ramon F. Villavicencio said the passage of the Biofuels Act would spur the movement for energy independence by mandating progressively higher blends of biofuels.

“There is therefore a great need for an institution to initiate and/or undertake in cooperation or collaboration with other institutions, for the advanced study, research, and tests on biofuels,” Villavicencio said.

Under the agreement, FV-IABR will maintain a database, a library and biodiesel testing facilities. The institute will eventually tap the country’s top academe and industry experts on biofuels.

TIP, in partnership with Nihon University, Japan’s largest university, released in 2005 one of the most authoritative and conclusive studies on biodiesel, which was presented at the Japan Society of Automotive Engineers and to the Department of Trade and Industry’s Bureau of Product Standards.

FV-IABR president Paul Tanjutco said preparations are already underway for the institute’s first project for the testing of B20.

Tanjutco said upon the conclusion of the tests and product certifications, Flying V’s TUP-Taguig biofuel center and its biofuel center in Philcoa, within the Philippine Coconut Authority compound, will test-market the product in vehicle fleets.

Project partners include TUP, Filipino Car Foundation, and Somida Motors Corp. A memorandum of cooperation, Tanjutco said, will be signed by officials of the Department of Energy (DOE).

For his part, Energy Undersecretary Mariano Salazar said the project is a welcome development. “The DOE strongly endorses the project as a boost to the energy independence objective of the biofuels law,” he said.

Flying V initiated the lead in the use of one percent blend of biodiesel in its pumps since Aug. 2005, way ahead of the implementation of the Biofuels Act of 2007.

I commend Flying V and TIP and all the people involve in this project. It is a positive move towards achieving the goal of making cocodiesel a potential fuel. Like what i kept on emphasizing in the thread, research on actual engines in varying loads, conditions and temperature is necessary. It is possible that varying some components, design, degrees and angles can improve the combustion of CME. Special focus should be on the ideal compression ratio for spraying of fuel and combustion chamber size and design to deliver maximum BTU.

Greetings to all bioD users out there. Just a curious question, are you concerned that the Biofuel Act which mandates a 1% blend of CME to all diesels is somehow a tactic to slow down the growth of BioD advocates/promoters such as homebrewers/independent brewers?

Kasi isipin mo, kung pre-blended na, why buy from brewers or simply why clamor for more than 1%? This is almost implying na hanggang 1% na lang talaga ang blend unless ma-update ang law. Unless, ikaw mismo mag mix --- ang gagawa lang naman nito ay mga die hard CME users. What about the majority of diesel users who doesn't know or doesn't care?

1% is actually a great deal for the big oil companies kasi having a CME distributor that supplies them with CME for pre-mixing is just like allowing another independent distributor like SeaOil etc in the market. Loose change kumbaga. Wouldn't make a dent on their income. This leads me to believe that we will still be highly dependent on imported oil even after this law has been passed. And, this law is going to ensure that we will always be for a looong time. Alam nyo naman, kapag naging batas na, napakatagal na namang panahon ang aantayin natin na mabago yan! This is what is bothering me. If we are truly going to aspire for some sort of oil-independence, we shouldn't be contented with the Biofuel act. Let's aim for foreign-oil independence!
