Biodiesel fuel is becoming a popular alternative to regular gasoline and diesel that we all buy at the corner gas station. New regulations have provided for almost zero sulfur dioxide content in biodiesels.
The production cost in some countries is still expensive. Biodiesel is widely available today. And conversion kits are readily available for older diesel engines.
It can be purchased directly from biodiesel producers and marketers, petroleum distributors, or at a handful of public pumps throughout the nation. It can be produced in any climate using the local resources. There is also ongoing research into using sewage grow algae which is then used in the refining process.
What should be the governments role be in promoting the use of biodiesel? There may be some up front investment to buy the processing unit but once you get rolling you will save considerable sums of money over the life your biodiesel processor.
