NounWikipedia has an article on: BiodieselSingular biodiesel Plural biodiesels biodiesel (plural biodiesels) From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, propyl or ethyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids (e.g., vegetable oil, animal fat (tallow)) with an alcohol. Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to fuel converted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petrodiesel. The term "biodiesel" is standardized as mono-alkyl ester in the United States. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by ToXiC BoY 1221 - Tue Nov 24 02:27:04 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ethanol is produced from corn in the USA. Corn is a food plant. By removing some corn harvest from the food market, corn prices jumped. To replace the lost corn, other countries had to cut down tropical rain forests to grow crops. The lost forest reduces the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere, worsening global warming. In sum, it is a bad idea to convert corn into ethanol. However, the idea of biofuel is fundamentally a good one, if we can convert inedible plant material, such as plant stems, leaves, wood chips etc., into fuel.
