Biodiesel is a perfect alternative to traditional gasoline. Biodiesel, is made from alcohol esters that are processed from the oils of veggies such as soybeans, mustard seeds and rapeseeds.
The nice thing about a biodiesel processor is that it is relatively small, meaning you can set one up in a shed or under an awning in your backyard. A great many biodiesel producers great their raw material from restaurant grease dumpsters as most restaurants are only to happy to get rid of the stuff. It is made from sustainable, locally grown crops, reducing the need to buy foreign oil.
Despite its wondrous properties, there are still few companies that directly sell biodiesel. And the best part is it can be oil that has already been used and recycled. In fact studies on engines that were converted from regular diesel have shown that using biodiesel cleans away the deposits and residue the regular fuel leaves behind, leading to better fuel economy.
Instead of destroying forests maybe we should look to new more green raw materials for producing biofuels. We live in a world today that has largely grown up in a throw away society without due regard to the consequences of waste.
