Biodiesel from ACCIONA Energy

ACCIONA Energy offers the Biodiesel manufactured from first use vegetable oils. This biodiesel complies with the norms of EU legislation and reduces polluting gas emissions normally associated with conventional diesel fuel. The biodiesel can be used directly or as a mix to power the existing engine without the need for modifications in engine design.

The biodiesel is produced from a variety of first use vegetable oils and tested with all the conventionally designed diesel engines and proved to produce reduced level of contaminating emissions. The Biodiesel manufactured by ACCIONA Energy utilizes vegetable oils that are 90% purified of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process thus reducing the CO² level in the biodiesel by 90% and the balance of 10% is removed during ethanol process in the plant.

It is calculated that the annual production of 70,000 tonnes of biodiesel manufactured by ACCIONA Energy if used fully would reduce the CO² emissions of around 60,000 cars consuming an average of 8 L fuel for every 100 km and drive 15,000 km in a year. In comparison with the conventional diesel the biodiesl manufactured by ACCIONA Energy reduces the level of sulphur dioxide by 99%, contaminating particles by 52%, unburnt carbons by 63% and carbon monoxide by 22%.
