Renewable diesel fuel made from biological sources like vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled grease.

Raw materials used to produce biodiesel, including animal fats, recycled cooking oil, and various vegetable oils.

Process used to create biodiesel from vegetable oils & animal fat by reacting them with methanol or ethanol using a catalyst.

Environmentally friendly, with no sulfur and lower emissions than traditional diesel.

Higher cost, problems with cold weather performance, and potential food supply issues if using food crops.

Mixing feedstock with methanol and catalyst, transesterification, refining, and crude glycerin treatment.

Substance making the transesterification happen more effectively, often potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide.

Process of converting vegetable oils into biodiesel using alcohols and catalysts.

Similar structure to petroleum diesel, long-chain fatty acid esters, with carbon atoms ranging from 10 to 21.

Used as a fuel substitute for diesel in various applications, from transportation to industry.

An alternative biofuel produced by fermentation from biomass like corn starch or molasses.

Biomass processing, hydrolysis, fermentation by thermophilic bacteria, filtration, and product separation.

Differing production methods (fermentation vs. transesterification) and properties that impact their use, with biodiesel being a direct fuel substitute & bioethanol a gasoline blend.

Raw materials used to produce biofuels, including plant oils, animal fats, and agricultural residues.

A general term for producing fuels from renewable biomass.
