Biodiesel is a non-toxic, clean burning, road tested,
and domestically produced replacement for petroleum diesel made from fats and
oilsÑtypically soybean oil. Biodiesel, which is usually blended with petroleum
diesel, can be used in a modern diesel engine. Biodiesel use is cost-effective
due to reduced operating and maintenance costs, financial incentives, and
finite petroleum supplies. The use of pure or blended biodiesel reduces toxic
air emissions, greenhouse gas buildup, and dependence on imported oil while
supporting local agricultural economies.
