Bayawan City trailblazing towards fuel and energy self sufficiency

1. ``

6. Process Flow Methanol = 20% of volume of oil Crude Plant-based Oil TRANSESTERIFICATION (stirred / mixed for 1- 2 hours at room temperature) BIODIESEL (Ready for Use) Let glycerine phase settle for at least 24 hours KOH = 1% of volume of oil + Biodiesel Glycerin Settling phases

8. Validating Jatropha’s Horsepower Scale Design of Bayawan City’s batch processing biodiesel plant. 1 st test run using 95 % jatropha biofuel on March 6, 2008 PGMA inspects jatropha biodiesel powered vehicle of the city Mixture of 50% petroleum diesel, 45% raw jatropha oil, and 5% Coco biodiesel

10. Oil Expelling – A Vital Component Newly acquired coconut oil expeller being tested at the city’s biodiesel plant Variations in the use of a manual expeller used for jatropha seeds Raw jatropha or coconut oil can also be used as fuel for cooking PLANT OIL STOVE

12. Costing per Liter of Biofuel Seed cake from oil expelling can be used as fertilizer while glycerin by-product from biodiesel processing can be used for soap production. 2.72 5% CME 32.00 4 kg @ 8.00 30.00 10 nuts @ 3.00 Fresh nuts- seeds per liter 9.00 9.00 For six 100- liter batch process cycles Methanol 15.50 50% Petroleum diesel 2.00 2.51 Oil Expelling 33.52 45.36 54.38 TOTAL 1.06 1.06 Labor & power 1.30 1.30 KOH 15.30 45% raw jatropha 10.51 Copra Production Biodiesel Mix Jatropha Biodiesel (JME) Coco Biodiesel (CME)

14. Back to the Future…Now “ The diesel engine can be fed with vegetable oils and would help considerably in the development of agriculture …,” “ The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today. But such oils may become in course of time as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time.” - Dr. Rudolf Karl Diesel, 1912 June, 2004 issue
