Biodiesel
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.

- From the chart at left, it can be seen that Biodiesel tends to produce significantly less emissions than conventional, low sulfur diesel when used as a transportation fuel.
- When biodiesel is used in atmospheric combustion boilers, it is possible to reduce the excess air required to burn this fuel to the point that higher combustion efficiencies can be achieved.
