Bio fuels go oink [abstract]

Abstract

Poster will show the effects of adding pork fat and ethanol to #2 diesel. Different concentrations were added and the results were recorded from several different tests. The blends were compared against B99, and #2 diesels to show the benefit of using a more bio based and differently bio based fuel. Researches worked in close proximity with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, weights and measures division, to remain as close to production specifications, and requirements, as possible. The research results will show the benefits and detriments of using each type of fuel and will give reason for support of bio fuels in the future.
