The Use of Biocomponents and Additives to Improve the Quality and Safety of Diesel Fuels

The worldwide increasing demand for energy prompts scientists to focusing their research fields at developing sustainable processes for using renewable source of energy. The geo-political crises and the high concern for global warming, caused by greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels made the depletion of fossil reservoirs become really dramatic for European Countries. The use of waste biomass as energy feedstock is very interesting for economics and environment. Although the EU banned the production of petrol and diesel automotives by 2035, the employing of biodiesel from waste biomass seems a very interesting alternative, solving problems connected to both fossil depletion and waste disposal.
