Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly, renewable fuel produced by the esterification of fats and oils with a primary alcohol. The fats and oils are derived from both animal and plant sources. This process allows for the thicker glycerin portion of these fats and oils to removed. The remaining biodiesel is much less viscous and can be used as a fuel in conventional diesel engines with little or no modification to the engine. Biodiesel is also an excellent fuel for use in conventional and industrial boilers to produce steam and home heat.

The production of ethanol or ethyl alcohol from starch or sugar-based feedstocks is among man`s earliest ventures into value-added processing. While the basic steps remain the same, the process has been considerably refined in recent years, leading to a very efficient process. There are two production processes: wet milling and dry milling. The main difference between the two is in the initial treatment of the grain.
