Homepage About Biofuels Biofuels are source of energy that are made from plants that can be replanted, hence renewable. Unlike the fossil fuels that have been formed over millions of years and locked away as the carbon waste. We are now unleashing the Pandora’s box and have done for over 100 years. IPCC have confirmed with over 600 scientists that they are now over 90% certain that this pollution is the cause of climate change. Biofuels can be a liquid fuel such as Biodiesel or a Solid fuel such as Wood pellets and Briquettes. In both instances, we are utilising waste products and turning them into fuel. In the UK Biodiesel is predominently made from Used Cooking Oil (UCO). Wood fuel is made from sustainable managed forests or from the sawdust waste, a side product of timber saw mills, usually made in the production of furniture or timber construction. Carbon emissions (Carbon Dioxide CO2) from biofuels are vastly reduced, which by the way is absorbed by the plant growth. The sulphur emissions from fossil fuels are 23,600 times more damaging to the environment. There is no sulphur emissions from Biofuels. Biodiesel is a simple and direct replacement to fuel a diesel type engine with no modifications required. Typically haulage, transport, power generation, marine and other diesel based engines or heat generation. Biodiesel can also be used as an alternative to Red diesel or Gasoil. Solid biofuels are a direct replacement to coal. There is higher energy content and less pollution and reduced ash waste. Used in heating and power generation units, in the home or for commerical premises. Benefits of Biofuels The main benefit of biofuels is that it is a renewable source. All of the UK, European and World energy needs can be satisfied by the use of biofuels. As the fuels are derived from plant growth, the renewable means that it will never run out, unlike the fossil fuel we use today. The environment benefits from bio fuels in two ways. The growth of plants, being renewable in themselves, absorbs a high percentage of the pollution and carbon dioxide and converts it into oxygen and other gases through osmosis. This is the cleaning up process of the pollution already created, that is causing climate change. In addition, the agricultural demands are increased that will encourage good use of unused land not only in the UK and Europe, but across Africa, Eastern Block and Russia. The U.S.A have sufficient land to develop an alternative fuel supply. Ethics of Biofuels Bio fuels are considered to be a renewable energy and a recycled source of fuel. Plant growth for the product of fuels can be replaced easily and benefit the environment. It is important for us that there is a high ethical standard in the industry. We will only source products which meet these high ethical standards and not to include Palm or Tallow. All raw materials should be traceable and sustainable, meeting the RFA (Renewable Fuels Agency) guidelines. Certificates of the fuel should be made available to the customer. There are some unscrupulous providers whose activities threaten to destroy forests or plantations in order to provide biofuels. This does not benefit the environment, but adds to the problem. We will exclude such oils from our supply chain and we monitor closely the source of oil and fuels as well as the quality.
