Strengthens

 The biofuels production leads to secure energy supply.

 The utilization of biofuels can decrease GHG emissions.
 Because of more drawn out value chain inside the national limits, biofuel
generation makes new employment places.
 Some biofuels can be generated decentralized and along these lines fortify rural
economies.
 The co-products production gives extra income.
 Biofuels are not or solely minimal harmful/toxic.(level 1 for water toxicity).
 Biofuels has a better performance due to higher cetane number and higher
oxidation content.
 Biodiesel builds lubricity and can add to fuel injector life to get longer.
 Biodiesel is nearly in the absence of sulphur.
 Biodiesel compromises less aromatic hydrocarbons.
 Biodiesel has got low vapor pressure.
 Biodiesel is a superior solvent than diesel (cleans the motor).
 Biodiesel is biodegradable inside 28 days.
Biodiesel production leads to the energy supply independency:
98% of the energy utilized as a part of the vehicles segment originates from fossil fuels.
Reserves of oil are evaluated to be restricted at 50 years. Biodiesel is adding to the
expansion of sources and advances profiting to the Canadian economy.
Alleviating climate change:
Biodiesel diminishes GHG emissions (30-71%). Green House Gas emissions are
prompting irreversible harms to the ecosphere influencing the environment, financial
advancement, livelihood and sustenance security. In Canada, transport is in charge of
around 23% of all GHG emissions, it is likewise the main part which encountered an
expansion of around 26% of GHG betwixt 1990-2003.

Weaknesses
 In light of the fact that external expenses are not severely included through
differentiated assessment treatment, biodiesel costs more compared to diesels
 The biodiesel energy content is lower than the Diesel one (37-38 MJ/kg instead of
42MJ/KG).
 Vehicles require small modifications on seals and channeling if utilized at 100%
unless particularly intended by vehicle manufactures.
 Added substances are required to forestall degradation of biodiesel if it is kept for
over 3 weeks.
 Biodiesel may pull in water particles from air moisture or condensation.
 Biodiesel produces more 𝑁𝑂𝑥 emissions contrasted to diesel fuel.
 Due to national budget constraints, a tax exemption combination with biofuels
commitment have ended up being the best however not generally set up. .
 High blending demands separate labelling.
 Detaxation is required by biodiesel so as to be competitive ( additional expenses
to national budgets)

Opportunities

 The product is highly demanded.

 Biodiesel has the chance to supplant a substantial level of fossil fuels.
 Biodiesel has the chance to diminish the reliance on unrefined oil.
 Biodiesel has the chance to diminish air contamination and GHG discharges.
 Since biodiesel is of rising enthusiasm, there exist numerous exploration activities.
 New and more productive change advances will be found and current technologies
will be made strides.

Threats
 Old autos are regularly utilized, so high octane number is not reasonable.
 Less mindfulness about biodiesel.
 The biofuel market is moderately new market.
 Biofuels political lobby is powerless when contrasted with the non-renewable
energy sources lobby.
