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.
