BioDiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel made from several different renewable resources including corn, vegetable oils and even animal fats. Anyone who's been paying attention has heard talk about alternative fuels, including biofuels, and how alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles are good for the environment as well as the fact that they allow countries to reduce their dependence on foreign oil.
Animal fats like tallow and lard are also being used as a raw material for biodiesel production. In USA, the IRS has started offering tax incentives to institutions and individuals that produce and use biodiesel. It benefits domestic economies by reducing the dependence on importing foreign petroleum.
Biodiesel is safer for people to breathe. Despite the fact that biodiesel is new in the market, there are already companies that exclusively distribute the product. Producing biodiesel from animal fats may not be feasible enough to replace petrodiesel just yet because of its limited supply.
Having a wasteful attitude has been exacerbated by the lack of proper education in the basic skills of survival. Diesel engines were in fact originally designed in the early 1900's to run on biodiesel made from oil seed crops and not to run on petroleum-based diesel.
