Biodiesel

You probably know that soybean byproducts are nutritious and healthy. But did you know they can power a car? Find out how soybean and other plant oils, as well as animal fats, are used to create the environmentally friendly fuel -- biodiesel.


“””Biodiesel is biodegradable and non-toxic, and typically produces about 60% less net lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions than petroleum-based diesel,[2] [3] as it is itself produced from atmospheric carbon dioxide via photosynthesis in plants. Though this figure can actually differ widely between fuels depending upon production and processing methods employed in their creation. Pure biodiesel is available at many gas stations in Germany.[4]””
