Producción e impacto del biodiesel: una revisión

Combustion gases generated by fossil fuels are the principal source of environmental problems now a day; transport sector is worldwide, one of the main cause of environmental damage, primarily in populated cities. Biofuels are an alternative that has awake the attention of governments and institutions due to the significant decrease of harmful emission of inter combustion engines. Ecuador is an American country that does not meet air quality parameters established by the World Health Organization; transport sector contributes to these emissions; biofuels and their mix with other fuels are an alternative to minimize environmental troubles and health problems. This investigation had as an objective to make a valuation of biodiesel uses in Ecuador, by the documentary revision from raw materials and production chain to the final uses to collect evidence and evaluate the implementation of biofuels at bigger scale. Can be seen that biodiesel is obtained from different sources, and its use in inter combustion engines as biodiesel mix, leads to a reduction of emissions.
