Biodiesel fuel is believed to be the most highly tested and popular alternative fuels in the US, and probably the world. In fact it is the only approved alternative fuel recognised by the Environmental Protection Agency. With the growing concern on the environment and economy, governments around the world are beginning to recognise the benefits of biodiesel. A study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), suggests demand for biodiesel production is set to increase by at least 124 million gallons per year.

The following is list of the key advantages of using biodiesel.

The process is done by converting vegetable oil into biodiesel by means of a biodiesel processor.
