health effects of biodiesel - Alternative Fuel Info

Biodiesel is made entirely from renewable resources such as soybeans, sunflowers, rapeseed and palm oil as well as waste vegetable oil. Biiodesial lessens our dependence on foreign oil and so it helps our economy.

Since biodiesel can readily be used in current diesel engines without having to modify them, it has the potential to supplement the use of petroleum-based fuels as a primary energy source to fill up the need of the world's transportation sector. Biofuel is also winning votes among environmentalists. Across the United States and within some countries will be facilities, small or big, making biodiesel.

There are kits available to convert diesel engines that have problems with burning biodiesel. Will your business be prepared to compete in a changing, greener business environment? The fuel has similar properties as that of the diesel, making it easy to use.

Developing a dependence on traditional first generation biocrops may result in food competing with fuel over the use of land. With better gas mileage, lower emissions, and the use of renewable, domestic sources, the upsides actually make biofuel cars a greener option than even hybrids.
