About This Presentation

Slide 1 - Alternative Fuels: Friend or Foe for the United States? Lacey Downing, Katie Keim, and Chris Weiss Florida Golf Coast University
Slide 2 - We believe Bio Diesel is the most environmentally friendly and cost effective fuel source for the future. It will provide the nation with energy independence. OUR STANCE
Slide 3 - Bio Diesel Bio diesel: Bio diesel refers to a diesel-equivalent, processed fuel derived from biological sources (such as vegetable oils), which can be used in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles. Bio diesel is distinguished from the straight vegetable oils or waste vegetable oils used as fuels in some modified diesel vehicles. You can even use french fry grease. Bio diesel is biodegradable and non-toxic, and produces significantly fewer emissions than petroleum-based diesel when burned. Bio diesel also eliminates the cloud of dense, black smoke normally associated with diesel vehicles. It also has better lubricity than diesel fuel because of its higher viscosity. http://youtube.com/watch?v=UcKpIB1HYKM
Slide 4 - Petroleum Diesel Petroleum Diesel: Diesel or diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used as fuel in a diesel engine. The term typically refers to fuel that has been processed from petroleum. Due to petrodiesel’s high level of pollutants, diesel fuel must undergo additional filtration which contributes to a sometimes higher cost. Diesel fuel often contains higher quantities of sulfur. Petrodiesel is made of oil that mainly comes from foreign countries. We have become dependent on their resources which may have been a cause of conflict between the U.S. and these countries.
Slide 5 - Compare And Contrast of Bio Diesel to Petroleum Diesel Compared to petroleum diesel, bio diesel is environmentally friendly and is government mandated. It reduces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons and other particulate matter emissions that cause respiratory damage. Bio fuels can also be as affected in diesel engines just as efficiently as petrodiesel. Bio fuels require less energy, reduces tail pipe particulate matter, and has reduced harmful emissions
Slide 6 - Bio diesel mixes cleanly at any ratio with petrodiesel-- in fact, adding only a small amount of bio diesel to petrodiesel results in greatly lowered emissions. GRAPH KEY: THC: total hydrocarbons, CO: carbon monoxide, NOx: nitrogen oxides PAH: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nPAH: nitrated PAH B20: 20% bio diesel / 80% diesel, B100: 100% bio diesel Source: Cincinnati Office of Environmental Management & US Department of Energy NREL studies. World Energy studies show significantly lower emissions.
Slide 7 - **This graph compares pure bio diesel, blended bio diesel and petrodiesel. Double check the percentage level of emissions (Ex: NOX) This graph was retrieved from Biofeul.be: www.biofuel.be/whatisbiodiesel.html
Slide 8 - Not to be bias….. Overview of Nitrogen Oxides NOx is a generic term for the various nitrogen oxides produced during combustion. They are believed to aggravate asthmatic conditions, react with the oxygen in the air to produce ozone, which is also an irritant and eventually form nitric acid when dissolved in water. When dissolved in atmospheric moisture the result can be acid rain which can damage both trees and entire forest ecosystems.
Slide 9 - A mixture is often formed in chemical reactions that produce nitrogen oxides, with the proportions depending on the specific reaction and the conditions it is performed in.                    Nitrogen dioxide, NO2                    Nitric oxide, NO Nitrous oxide, N2O Dinitrogen trioxide, N2O3 Dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4 Dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5 This is one reason why home production of N2O is undesirable; the other two stable oxides — which are extremely toxic — are liable to be produced. When bio fuels are mixed properly, NOx is only a small percentage higher then coal and oil based fuels. **Note that the last three listed above are unstable.
Slide 10 - PROS VS. CONS Fuels and lubricants made from vegetable oils actually perform better and pollute less than their petroleum counterparts. Their big drawback, however, is that they're two to three times more expensive. For that reason, researchers are adapting vegetable oil for those fuel markets where its advantages might justify its cost 100% Bio diesel have a higher Nitrogen Oxide emissions

Slide 12 - 4Refuel Management Leader Mr. Lee is the founder and controlling shareholder of 4REFUEL Canada Ltd. formerly Mini-Tankers Canada Ltd. Jack's vision is to develop the 4REFUEL business in Canada to be the recognized national diesel refueling solution of choice. http://www.4refuel.com/ JACK LEE - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Slide 13 - The idea of bio diesel has been around since as early as 1893 when the Ford Model T was introduced. It was the first mass-produced vehicle capable of running on gasoline, ethanol or a combination of the two.
Slide 14 - Due to recent environmental and political concerns bio diesel has now reemerged as a growing fuel alternative. Examples: The environment was affected by the major hurricanes of 2005; “they destroyed 30 oil platforms and caused the closure of nine refineries; the total shut-in oil production from the Gulf of Mexico in the six-month period following Katrina was approximately 24% of the annual production and the shut-in gas production for the same period was about 18%” The United States has been fighting in Iraq for over 6 years now. New concerns about American energy security and the stability of supplies were raised due to the violence in the Middle East. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qCbeN1OSnw8
Slide 15 - The nation is starting to panic about the effects of the war and is planning to abort. America wants to become energy independent and is finding alternative ways for our vehicles to run, besides using petrodiesel. Congress passed The Energy Policy Act of 2005 which was intended to establish a long-range energy policy. It focuses on newer, more efficient energy technologies. Congress mandates that refiners use 7.5 billion gallons of renewable fuels annually by 2012.
Slide 16 - This graph shows oil consumption in 2005, before the passing of the Energy Policy Act SCARY!
Slide 17 - November of 2006, President George W. Bush promoted renewable fuels and other alternative sources of energy, saying America must be weaned from its desire for foreign oil. According to environmental and market analysts, investments in renewable energy sources and the market share of renewable energy sources are growing rapidly.
Slide 18 - Conclusion Bio fuels reduce green house effects, lowers tail pipe emissions, is cost effective and has proven to be environmentally friendly. Anyone who is serious about national and economic security knows we must be serious about moving our country toward real energy independence. This process cannot be achieved overnight. It will take a generation at least - which is all the more reason we must begin immediately. We found bio fuels to be the most environmentally friendly and cost effective fuel source for the future. It offers the opportunity to provide the nation with energy independence.
