What are you doing?

One day a Biofuel farmer was approached by a lizard when he was out tending his crops.

The lizard was very curious what the farmer what he was doing so he asked him.

The farmer replied "Im tending my crops so that they are healthy and can be later made into Biofuel".

The lizard looked at the farmer with a very puzzled face. And began to turn around to leave but stopped and turned back.

Biofuel is fuel made from living matter, Like vegetables

What is Biofuel

The lizard very confused then asked the farmer what Biofuels were.

The farmer didn't really know how to answer that question but he couldn't tell the lizard that.

The farmer then replied "Biofuels are vegetables or crops that are turned into fuel for cars and generators".

But how do you make Biofuel

I'll show you, follow me

After that the lizard seemed pleased but he still wanted to know more about it.

So he continued with the questions.

The farmer decide to give the lizard the full run down of Biofuel.

Here is where they make the fuel

So the farmer and the lizard walked and walked until the got to the lab.

It was a very nice lab. It was clean and fireproof as well as safe just like it needed to be to make the fuel.

This lab is actually where they do all the mixing and heating to change the vegetable oil into biofuel

Jim then explained to the lizard how exactly they turn the vegetable oil in to usable fuel.

Jim says " First Waste vegetable oil is filtered to get rid of all the food particles in it, this is done by heating the liquid a little bit then filtering the liquid in a filter.

After that, they boil the liquid to 100 to remove the water. This is so it gets a better reaction.

Third, they add in the right amount of lye.

After that, they mix in sodium methoxide to the solution.

Then the solution is heated to around 120 , be careful to avoid splashing.

Finally, let the solution set and the biofuel should emerge at the top. Just drain the glycerin to drain out the bottom."

Aren't all those chemicals bad for the environment

The lizard being very amazed had no idea what to say, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

He did manage to get one question out which was...

Jim replied "Yes, but there are a lot of advantages to using biofuel".
