All About Biodiesel

Summary: Biodiesel is a fuel that comes from the transesterification of vegetable oils. Organic oils from soybeans, corn, or even nuts can be converted into a fuel fit for use in diesel automobile engines without any modifications. Waste oil can also be converted into biodiesel. Biodiesel emits 60% less net-lifecycle carbon dioxide than regular gasoline and 65% less smog forming hydrocarbons, however, emissions of nitrogen oxide are 10% higher in biodiesel than gasoline-derivative fuels. There is some debate whether biodiesel could solve the emission problems generally considered central in global warming caused by human technology, but as an alternative to fossil fuels and contemporary oil politics the importance of biodiesel cannot be underestimated.
