Description

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from various biomaterials, which includes vegetable oils and animal fats. It's known for being environmentally friendly, as it reduces emissions when used in diesel engines. Its production process involves the transformation of these organic materials through chemical reactions, resulting in a substance that can substitute or blend with regular diesel.

Main uses

Biodiesel serves primarily as a transportation fuel, offering an alternative to fossil fuels in vehicles. It can be used in pure form or blended with conventional diesel at various levels for use in standard diesel engines, often without the need for modifications. Additionally, it is used in heating applications and as an additive to reduce vehicle emissions.
