Biodiesel is “bio”, because it is made from organic matter. Usually, oil-rich plants such as rapa and corn are grown and harvested. Their oil is combined with alcohol to make biodiesel. Because its production process is relatively fast, biodiesel is considered a renewable fuel.
Renewable fuels are good. As environmental awareness grows, the demand for renewable fuels, including biodiesel, increases. The Europeans, especially, have a voracious appetite for biodiesel. This is good, right? Biodiesel will help save the environment.
