biodiesel

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from plant oils or animal fats, used as an alternative to conventional diesel. It is produced through a chemical process called transesterification, which converts fats into fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerin. Biodiesel burns cleaner than traditional diesel, reducing emissions of pollutants like sulfur and particulates. It can be used in existing diesel engines without modification, making it a sustainable option for reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Because it originates from renewable resources, biodiesel helps decrease greenhouse gas emissions and supports a circular economy.
