Biodiesel is made from diverse mix of resources such as recycled used cooking oil, animal fats and/or oil extracted from soybean. Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning replacement that can be used in existing diesel engines without modification. It is functionally identical to petroleum diesel however the emissions are much less than regular diesel. All light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles are capable of running on Biodielsel, as it is lighter and cleaner alternative. Concerns of clogging car filters, nozzles and reduced or lost engine power are none existent. KUCHENA’s processing and production equipment complies with the RSA biodiesel standard SANS 1935, as well as other convention international standard like ASTM D6751 and EN 14214uses production equipment and machinery that is SABS approved, the end product is tested against the industry standards.
Mining is heavy on fuel consumption due to their big machineries and therefore biodiesel will be an alternative that offers cleaner fuel at reasonable cost.
South Africa has experienced massive climate change which has hit the agricultural sector very hard, as they had to deal with drought and still maintain the farms. Biodiesel will assist reduce the impact, immediate impact being on the cost of the fuel currently used.
South Africa is constantly growing and expanding its infrastructure and citizens are always on the move in numbers to either their work places or just travelling long distances. Biodiesel will save these industries a significant amount while keeping the environment cleaner.
