Not only are farmers responsible for producing the soybeans to make biodiesel, but many are investigating ways in which they can add value to their crops by producing their own biodiesel. One option is to make biodiesel, an alternative fuel source we can make right in our own backyards.
It is made from sustainable, locally grown crops, reducing the need to buy foreign oil. Biodiesel also provides considerably fewer combustion emissions when compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel. Because of this property it is easy to make biodiesel at home.
Most processors are not that large and can easily set up in a shed in your backyard. And conversion kits are readily available for older diesel engines. One of the unexpected benefits of biodiesel is its ability flush out and clean the internal parts of a diesel engine.
Instead of destroying forests maybe we should look to new more green raw materials for producing biofuels. Which ever route you choose getting your processor set up at home is not that difficult.
