Abstract
The topic of this paper is biodiesel. It argues that to help people life, biodiesel should be used. There are three reasons for this argument. The first is that it helps the farmers in their live and the second it is cheaper than petroleum. The third reason that it is good for engines. Finally it is good for environment.

Biodiesel
For a better environment, for a healthier life, for better engines and a good smells, for less dependence on petroleum, biodiesel makes part of the solution. The people and workers try to improve their life by using great things. Biodiesel is one of the energy sources that can be used in engines for truck and cars, it can also be used to produce energy for houses and industries .it may not be an ultimate solution for petroleum alternatives but it will solve in part the problem of limited petroleum supply in the world. In ‘Kiline Study: Biodiesel No Silver Bullet for Crude Crisis” the author states “Biodiesel may not be the ultimate solution to the world's fuel problem, but it is an important part of the solution set,"” (Agashe, 2006, Para 5). It has many advantages over other gases. Biodiesel should be used because it helps the farmers, it cheaper than petroleum, it is good for engine, and it helps the environment Bodiesel (2006) explains “Biodiesel is a domestically produced, renewable fuel for diesel engines derived from natural oils from soybeans, canola and sunflowers and animal fats” (par 6).the first engine of biodiesel as a kind of diesel established in 1898 in Paris (Yokayo biofuels, n.d.). In” Biodiesel” the author argues “Biodiesel was introduced in South Africa before World War II to power heavy-duty vehicles.”(n.d., para4). The biodiesel was stop but it return back before world war two and they were use it for big and weighty vehicles. in” Biodiesel” the author argues “Additional biodiesel could be derived from aquatic plants such as microalgae .This resource has the potential to be able to supply 50% or more of the U.S. diesel market” (n.d. ,para3) . this resource which is called micro algae is kind of plant and it is grow in the sea. Also, the U.S can produce 50% or more from that resource. biodiesel is not 100-percentage replacement of diesel. On the other hand ,biodiesel has two kind of diesel, which they are, call B5 ,and B20. B5 biodiesel which is contain of 5 percentages of plants and animal oil. “A Look at Green Fuels” said B5 biodiesel is mix of 95 percentage of petro diesel and 5 percentage of plant and animals oil. In addition ,the other kind is B20 biodiesel, which contains 20 percentage of biodiesel, and 80 percentage of petro based diesel.
At first, biodiesel helps farmers because it has less chemical substance than other gases. Many of gas can affect the plant and that cause of the death for plant. The gases for engine and machine that farmers use it for their farm it can be the big risk on their product. Biodiesel is better gas to use to save the plants; it is made in part from plant sources. In addition, the major crops that can be used to make vegetable oils for biodiesel are corn, sunflower, canola and soybean. Therefore, biodiesel will open a new market for farmers it will increase the demand for raw materials, farmers would have to grow more crops and this will benefit both the farmers and the industry which manufacture harvesting and patenting machines. In “Kilned Study: Biodiesel No Silver Bullet for Crude Crisis” the author claims “It provides farmers with a new market for their crops and holds the promise of high profits for food conglomerates and other members in the value chain” (2006, para 6).Soybean and crops are not limited for the food industry but can be used for producing biodiesel which is a totally new market for farmers. This will help increase their income and raise the value of such crops. Farmers use the biodiesel for planting and harvesting crops that will be processed into biodiesel so farmers are the first consumers for biodiesel. Therefore, biodiesel is good for farmers. It can help them to increase their product because it has less dangerous resource than other petroleum.
Second, biodiesel is cheaper than petroleum because it can be made from almost any vegetable oil, waste oil from restaurant fryers, tallow, and lard and waster treatment plants. The vegetable and animal oil make the prices of biodiesel is cheaper than other diesel which is 100 percent petroleum based. Also, production in local area gets better prices than imported diesel from other countries. Robinson (2005) “Gordon Petty with Ritter Oil Co. Says:” if crude oil stays at $70 a barrel plus then biodiesel has an advantage”(para3). Currently petroleum prices are hiking because of the conflicts in areas where it is produced and because of natural disasters like what happened in Florida last year, when the hurricane catethrina hit all the oil refining industry stopped. Thus biodiesel is enjoying a short-term price advantage over petroleum diesel. Therefore, it is good diesel by its price because it has many sources to make it. Third, Biodiesel is good for engines because gas engines use ignition whereas with diesel engines no spark plug is required diesel engines are far better than gas engines. Diesel engines are simple, efficient and robust. When comparing biodiesel to petroleum diesel, biodiesel was found better for engines because it gives the engine many benefits. In Foyston (2006) writes “Biodiesel lubricates engines better”(para1). It is good benefit for engine, which it gives the engine easy movement and good grease. In Foyston (2006) writes “most users report no difference except that engines seem smoother and exhausts smell sweeter”(para1). There is no bad smoke in the air and it makes the engine less loudly than other petroleum. Also, it makes the engines soft. Rausch (2006) claims “the biodiesel makes its mark is in its ability to clean an engine and increase fuel efficiency” (par 5). Biodiesel is able to make the engine clean. Also, it can raise the competence of the engine Thererefore, it is better for engine and it has many benefits to the user since the engine would run more miles same than a petroleum based diesel engine.
Finally, Biodiesel helps the environment because it can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide, which that makes better environment than other diesel. In Gudmunson (2005) writes “biodiesel results in a 78% reduction in Carbon dioxide emissions”(pa.13). It has little emission of Carbon dioxide It makes less carbon dioxide than other diesel. Biodiesel it contain with little or no toxic emission such as sulfur, which is carcinogenic. Biodiesel mostly from natural source, which it is better for environment. Therefore, it is good for environment because it has less dangerous chemical gases. Opponents of biodiesel claims that biodiesel is not a good substitute for the petroleum based diesel. In Bodipo-Memba (2006) writes “notoriously poor-performing cold-weather fuel. Below 50 degrees, the fuel begins to form wax crystals that can cause the engine to run rough”(para19). In fact, this problem can only appear during clod weather and for a limited time in the year. However, to avoid the crystallization of biodiesel we can blend it with petrol diesel or we can install a tank heater. In the future, there might be some additives to biodiesel like a chemical substance to keep biodiesel in fluid form at low temperature.
In conclusion, biodiesel is kind of diesel will help many people. It will improve their environment and will help the farmers to increase their production. It is useful during this day until the workers and companies find better source than biodiesel. It has good price than other diesel. Most of countries who use it they made it locally. Agriculture and plant with the improvement of biotechnology farmers will increase their production of crops and yield of oil extracted. Therefore, biodiesel may become an important alternative of petroleum and may replace it forever. Therefore, it is good kind of diesel, which helps people and improves their life.
