Across Borneo expedition to promote B10 environmental biodiesel

(BELAGA) at the Malaysian Palm Oil Research Center in Sarawak (BELAGA) yesterday for the B10 Environmental Biodiesel Expedition to support the departure ceremony.

The so-called B10 biodiesel is made from a mixture of ten bares of palm oil and ninety percent of diesel oil.

B10 Biodiesel, which is dedicated to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and encourages people to use environmentally friendly biofuels; the Plant and the Ministry of Industry and the Malaysian Palm Oil Research Council jointly promote the B10 Environmental Biodiesel Expedition, This enhances the knowledge and awareness of B10 biodiesel.

B10 Biodiesel is a mixture of palm oil and diesel fuel, and is a very suitable for diesel engine use of environmentally friendly fuel. Even at low temperatures, the biodiesel is also quite suitable for diesel engines. Because it can increase the lubricity of diesel, as well as to improve the combustion of cetane in the diesel fuel, and enhance the engine power.

B10 biodiesel expedition travel about 1,000 km. Members of the expedition include journalists from Sabah, Sarawak and West Malaysia. The expedition is from the Sarawak Wagga Raja departure, and then across Brunei, Sarawak the old Vietnamese, Sabah's root bite and blue brain, and finally arrived in Mount Kunda.

The expedition used a total of 15 four-wheel drive with biodiesel and four heavy-duty vehicles. The expedition will take about a thousand kilometers away in five days and four nights.

The Malaysian Palm Oil Research Board has been working on the B10 mix of palm oil and diesel fuel since 2013. B10 biodiesel meets the international standards of diesel fuel, so it is suitable for all diesel engines. B10 (mixed palm oil and diesel) biodiesel developed by Malaysia also meets a number of international standards, including European EN14214 specifications and ASTM D6751 specifications. Some countries, including Colombia and Indonesia, have already started using B10 and B20 (palm oil and diesel) biodiesel in their country, and no technical problems have arisen so far.
