One option is to make biodiesel, an alternative fuel source we can make right in our own backyards. Before you consider the biodiesel home making process there are a more than a few things to consider.
Although diesel engines accept the pure form of biodiesel, it is still best to get some upgrades if you are considering using 100% biodiesel. It can be produced in any climate using the local resources. Biodiesel refers to a type of processed fuel that can be derived from biological sources.
So far, biodiesel is the only alternative fuel that can be used in engines without the need for any modification. Bio-diesel and petroleum diesel mix extremely well and are commercially available in variety of combinations. It reduces air pollution along with the associated health risks to the public as well.
There is still a lot of work ahead of us to truly replace the fossil fuels with bio fuel. Developing a dependence on traditional first generation biocrops may result in food competing with fuel over the use of land.
