In a study published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels , a team from the University of Vermont reports that particulate matter from the combustion of biodiesel blends may be 50–80% less toxic per unit PM mass emitted than PM from petroleum diesel, depending on feedstock. PM-normalized DTT Activity for biodiesel exhaust PM. to 13.6 ± 3.8

Their study was published online 21 December in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels. When used in diesel engines, biodiesel usually exhibits several combustion-related advantages, including reductions in CO, UHC and PM emissions, as well as a net CO 2 reduction. However, with an energy density 13% lower than diesel (37.5

For consideration as a qualifying fuel, the waste-derived biofuel must yield a 50% greenhouse gas reduction threshold required in the Massachusetts law as determined by a preliminary analysis based on both CARB and EPA methodologies. Massachusetts was the first state in the nation to require biofuel in home heating fuel.

Blending jatropha biodiesel (JBD) with Fischer-Tropsch synthetic diesel (FT) results in lower CO, THC, smoke and PM emissions compared to neat FT, according to a study by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels.
