Biodiesel, is made from alcohol esters that are processed from the oils of veggies such as soybeans, mustard seeds and rapeseeds. Not only can the biodiesel be utilized as fuel on its own, it can be interfused with the standard diesel in any ratio.
There is no stipulation how and where this fuel is produced. What the biofuel discussion points to is the urgency for businesses to begin planning for the inevitability of a green energy world in order to protect themselves from rising energy costs and clean energy regulations, policies, and taxes. Biodiesel's local resources can be cheaply grown and are excellent for the environment.
Because it is also a naturally oxygenated fuel and contains very little sulfur and aromatics it is an extremely clean burning fuel. It can be made in any part of the world from local recourses. Biodiesel and ethanol are produced from plant oils and from edible crops meaning competition for basic foodstuffs, food or oil.
When you make the biodiesel yourself the average saving is more than fifty percent. While the kits used to make biodiesel can be pricey up front and can cost several thousand dollars for a higher end model it is important to remember that over the life of the processor you will save money as the price of gas continues to rise and you no longer have to join everyone else at the gas pumps.
