Biodiesel is a clean burning fuel and more importantly, it is a renewable energy source. Anyone who's been paying attention has heard talk about alternative fuels, including biofuels, and how alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles are good for the environment as well as the fact that they allow countries to reduce their dependence on foreign oil.
Bio-diesel and petroleum diesel mix extremely well and are commercially available in variety of combinations. You can provide them the container that they will fill up with the vegetable oil and agree with them when is best to pick it up. In view of the fact that biodiesel does not contain sulphur and aromatics, it burns cleaner leaving very few traces of contaminants.
Even if there is an oil spill, the amount of harm will be negligible as compared to an oil spill from a normal source. The world is confronting with the twin issues of global warming and energy pinch. Something needs to be done and targets have been set, the United States is the only developed country that has not ratified the treaty and yet it is one of the significant greenhouse gas emitters.
Biodiesel actually has the highest energy balance of any transportation fuel. Most governments have been proceeding with caution and rightly so but mixed messages from governments around the world have only added to the uncertainty around the use biodiesel fuel.
