Biodiesel Technology
March 5th, 2010

Biodiesel technology is an up and coming process for generating fuel that can replace or form a part of traditional diesel. Biodiesel is created by the chemical interaction of animal fats or vegetable oils with certain types of alcohol – typically methanol.
Biodiesels are an important part of the strategy of many countries for reducing their dependence on foreign oil. Because biodiesels can be locally produced by farmers, it also acts as a means of improving the employment scenario and increasing the income of those involved. Biodiesel technology has come a long way since 1893 and the process has now grown much more efficient.
