Ship running on Biodiesel

Article on ship running on Biodiesel.......
Yes we want our Ship to be environmentally friendly... so time to search for bio-engineers and eco-scientist to enlist to the cause.....

The purpose of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of biodiesel to reduce GHG emissions in a Canadian marine environment and to assess the impact of biodiesel on power output and engine wear and, to identify any operational constraints. Although trials had been done on smaller marine vessels, this was the first use of biodiesel on a commercial merchant ship in Canada.
