What is biodiesel?
Biodiesel is a clean-burning alternative fuel that can be used in existing diesel engines, in power generation, and for home heating. It is less toxic than table salt, bio-degrades as fast as sugar, and is essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. It also sharply reduces greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, and the health risks associated with petroleum diesel, and because biodiesel is produced from domestic, renewable resources, each gallon of biodiesel displaces a gallon of diesel fuel made with foreign oil.
