Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel produced from domestic, renewable resources such as new and used vegetable oils and animal fats. Biodiesel is primarily produced through base catalyzed transesterification. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. Biodiesel can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel.
