Recently, CSPI, a subsidiary of CSSC Power (Group) carried out the test of pure biofuel (BD100 biodiesel) on the 520mm marine low-speed engine (RTX8), which is also China first time to use 100% pure biofuel in the low-speed engine.
 
The biofuel used in the trial, BD100 biodiesel, is made from 100% waste cooking oil by transesterification process with extremely low sulfur content, resulting in more than 98% reduction in sulfur oxide (SOX) and more than 50% reduction in BC emissions.
 
Biofuel is a kind of renewable energy with potential. Its carbon component comes from the atmosphere, and then returns to the atmosphere after combustion. It is internationally recognized as "zero-carbon" fuel.
