Biodiesel, SAF, Energy policyAbstract
With global warming and the gradual depletion of traditional fossil energy, it is becoming increasingly urgent to find new green and low-carbon alternative energy sources. Biodiesel is widely regarded as a renewable energy source with development prospects because of its advantages in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting resource recycling. This article aims to briefly explain the preparation methods of biodiesel, the main relevant policies of various countries and the current application status. At the same time, this article puts forward suggestions for the promotion of biodiesel in China from the aspects of reducing the costs of preparation, improving current policies, strengthening publicity and promoting cooperation between local enterprises. Through the active cooperation between the government, enterprises and the public, the huge potential of China's biodiesel consumer market can be developed. Through the promotion of biodiesel, while reducing carbon emissions in transportation, it can promote the recycling of resources in China.
