What Is Biodiesel? Biodiesel is an alternative fuel similar to conventional or fossil diesel. Biodiesel can be produced from straight vegetable oil, animal oil/fats, tallow and waste cooking oil. The process used to convert these oils to Biodiesel is called transesterification. This process is described in more detail below.
Biodiesel is produced by reacting organic materials such as vegetable oils with an alcohol, typically methanol, using a strong base, such as a caustic, as a catalyst. Glycerin, a combustible liquid, is produced as a by-product. The caustic is neutralized with acid, typically sulfuric acid.
