A comparative cost analysis of biodiesel, compressed natural gas, methanol, and diesel for transit bus systems

Article Abstract:

A 'nested fixed point' maximum likelihood algorithm was used to evaluate the costs of bus transit systems using four alternative fuels including biodiesel, methanol, compressed natural gas, and diesel. The factors considered included fuel, maintenance, infrastructure, and reliability. Results show slight advantages of petroleum diesel fuel over biodiesel types though biodiesel must not be discounted as an important alternative source due to economic and environmental reasons.
