Guys, im doing a research paper on bio-diesel in the commercial marine industry(freighters and big ships). well im having a hard time finding resources. if any of you have better info than wickipedia and biodiesel.com it would be great. thanks a lot.

 

I don't think freighters or bigs ships use normal diesel fuel.. They run on oil but its some kind of thick tar like substance. (from my understanding)

 

Most ships run on #1 or #2 Bunker oil. The U.S. NAVY is just starting to use B-20, You can read about it here: http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com...story?id=24024There is more info out there, just Google Biodiesel/US Navy.
