Biofuel is much cleaner than fossil-fuel diesel (AKA dinodiesel).  It can be used in any diesel engine with no need for modifications - in fact diesel engines run better and last longer with biofuel.  Making biodiesel is easy and can be made from a common waste product - used cooking oil as well as many other fresh oils such as vegetable oil, palm oil etc.

Biodiesel is growing fast.  Biodiesel has been demonstrated to have significant environmental benefits in terms of decreased global warming impacts, reduced emissions, greater energy independence and a positive impact on agriculture.

Various studies have estimated that the use of 1 kg of biodiesel leads to the reduction of some 3 kg of CO2. Hence, the use of biodiesel results in a significant reduction in CO2 emission (65%-90% less than conventional diesel), particulate emissions and other harmful emissions. Biodiesel is extremely low in sulphur, and has a high lubricity and fast biodegradability. These are all advantages which have been confirmed by various EC Commission programmes and tests of independent research institutes.

Biodiesel has been produced on an industrial scale in the European Union since 1992, largely in response to positive signals from the EU institutions. Today, there are approximately 160 plants in the EU producing up to 1 billion liters of biodiesel annually. These plants are mainly located in Germany, Italy, Austria, France and Sweden.

As such, an increased use of biodiesel in Europe represents an important step for the European Union to meet its emission reduction target as agreed under the Kyoto agreement. Additionally reducing pollutant emissions alleviates various human health problems.

In specific cases, used vegetable oils can be recycled as feedstock for biodiesel production. This can reduce the loss of used oils in the environment and provides a competitive and CO² advantageous way of transforming a waste into transport energy.

• Biodiesel can be produced from any fat or vegetable oil, including waste cooking oil.
   
• Making Biodiesel can be done easily and cheaply with the Biodiesel Experts International biodiesel reactors.
   
• Making Biodiesel at home could save you up to 50% of your fuel bill.
   
• Biofuel can be used in any diesel engine - with no modifications to the engine.
   
• Biofuel can be mixed with ordinary diesel fuel in any proportion -- even a small amount of biodiesel means cleaner emissions and better engine lubrication: 1% biodiesel will increase lubricity by 65%.  Better lubrication means less engine wear.  Another benefit.
   
• Fuel economy is the same as conventional diesel fuel.
   
• Biofuel is a much better lubricant than conventional diesel fuel and extends engine life - a German truck won an entry in the Guinness Book of Records by travelling more than 1.25 million km (780,000 miles) on biodiesel with its original engine.
   
• Biodiesel has a high cetane rating, which improves engine performance: 20% biodiesel added to conventional diesel fuel improves the cetane rating 3 points, making it a Premium fuel.
   
• The flash point of biofuel in its pure form is more than >266 ºF versus approximately 125ºF for regular diesel.   This makes biodiesel much safer than diesel.

• Biodiesel fuel burns up to 75% cleaner than diesel fuel made from fossil fuels.
   
• Bio diesel substantially reduces unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter in exhaust fumes.  Sulphur dioxide emissions are 100% eliminated (bio diesel contains no sulphur).
   
• This alternative fuel is plant-based and adds absolutely no CO2 to the atmosphere. 
   
• Biofuel exhaust is not offensive and doesn't cause eye irritation.  Vehicles do not spew out vile black fumes/particulates.  In fact if you make your fuel from used cooking oil it may even smell of chips.
   
• Biodiesel is environmentally friendly: it is renewable, "more biodegradable than sugar and less toxic than table salt" (US National Biodiesel Board).
   
• Biodiesel was the first renewable fuel to successfully complete the EPA-required Health Effects Testing under the Clean Air Act. Mutagenicity studies show that biofuel dramatically reduces potential risks of cancer and birth defects.
   
• Biodiesel helps preserve natural resources. For every unit of energy needed to produce biodiesel, 3.24 units of energy are gained - nearly four times more than diesel.
