The article provides data on the environmental properties of biofuels obtained by the simultaneous
extraction of oil from spoiled rapeseed and transesterification with the addition of mineral diesel to the
reaction mixture. The resulting reaction product contained 10% biodiesel – fatty acid methyl, ethyl or
butyl esters in mixtures with mineral diesel. Life cycle analysis has shown that mixtures of biodiesel
and mineral diesel have lower negative environmental impacts compared to pure mineral diesel. The
values of indicators such as abiotic depletion, acidification, global warming, ozone depletion, human
toxicity for mixtures are 40% - 58% lower compared to the corresponding values for mineral diesel.
The addition of biodiesel has been found to increase the rate of biodegradation of fuels. Such fuels are
classified as partially biodegradable according to the OECD classification
