Abstract

The use of biodiesel from palm oil as a substitute for diesel oil is a policy of the Government of Indonesia. In addition to renewable energy, the use of biodiesel as a fuel for transportation and industry is also an effort to reduce imports of diesel oil. Apart from the advantages of renewable biodiesel and almost no sulfur, biodiesel also has several disadvantages when compared to diesel from petroleum. The use of biodiesel as a fuel for transportation must be mixed with petro diesel. In Indonesia today, 30% of diesel fuel sold in the market has been mixed with biodiesel. This paper will present a study related to the percentage of biodiesel blending from various raw materials with petrodiesel to determine the characteristics of the mixed fuel. Biodiesel from palm oil, jatropha and canola is produced in the laboratory. The mixed oil characterization was carried out according to the ASTM test procedure. The viscosity of the mixed oil increases with the increase in the percentage of biodiesel. The flash point value also increases with the increase in the amount of biodiesel in the mixture. The opposite result was obtained for oxidation stability characteristics.
