Resumen

DIAZ-BARRIOS, Saray  y  PEREZ-ACOSTA, Osney G.. Use of Biodiesel in Internal Combustion Engines for Livestock Activities. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.1  Epub 01-Mar-2021. ISSN 2071-0054.

The basis of industrialization was and still is today, the massive use of fossil fuels. Relatively abundant studies in the scientific literature show that the reserves of these resources are limited and that their depletion is almost imminent. For this reason, the production of biofuels is one of the solutions to this problem, since it is a potential source of renewable energy. One of its advantages is being friendly to the environment due to the reduction of polluting gases. Biodiesel is considered to be a favorable alternative for reducing fossil fuel imports and especially second-generation fuel because it is the most appropriate option, among other reasons, due to non-competitiveness with food. Due to the importance of the subject, it is necessary to know the origin of biofuels and their evolution, highlighting their classification and specifically researching into biodiesel. It is also intended to carry out a review about the use of biodiesel in compression engines for livestock activities, reflecting the characteristics and influence when using it in internal combustion engines (ICM). An analysis of research in Cuba is carried out and the interest of the country in the development of renewable energies and the care of the environment is ratified. It is therefore necessary, from a scientific perspective, to examine the potentialities of the Institute of Animal Science (ICA) that contribute to national energy savings.
