What is output of biodiesel production?

Outputs of biodiesel production:                                                  

1. Biodiesel

Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning diesel replacement that is reducing our dependence on foreign petroleum, creating jobs and improving the environment. Made from a diverse mix of feedstocks including recycled cooking oil, soybean oil, and animal fats, it is the first and only EPA-designated Advanced Biofuel in commercial-scale production. Meeting strict technical fuel quality and engine performance specifications, it can be used in existing diesel engines without modification and is covered by all major engine manufacturers’ warranties, most often in blends of up to 5 percent or 20 percent biodiesel.

Constantly production of biodiesel would significantly lessen our dependence on imported oil, bolstering national security and reducing our trade deficit. At the same time, biodiesel’s growth would boost the economy, not just by creating jobs but also by reducing our dependence on global oil markets and vulnerability to price spikes. The industry’s economic impact is poised to grow significantly with continued production increases. The industry supports jobs in a variety of sectors, from manufacturing to transportation, agriculture and service.
The EPA has recognized biodiesel’s environmental benefits by classifying it as an Advanced Biofuel, making biodiesel the only commercial-scale fuel produced to meet the agency’s advanced criteria. According to the EPA, biodiesel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by at least 57 percent and up to 86 percent when compared to petroleum diesel – making it one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to immediately address climate change. In addition, biodiesel sharply reduces major tailpipe pollutants from petroleum diesel, particularly from older diesel vehicles. This is important because the EPA has consistently cited diesel exhaust – primarily from older trucks, buses and other vehicles – as one of the nation's most dangerous pollutants.

2. Glycerin
It is a byproduct of the production of biodiesel via transesterification. The glycerin directly from the production is crude, it’s can be purified. The purified glycerin can be widely used in food and cosmetic industry.
