What is Bio Diesel?

Biodiesel is chemically referred to as mono alkyl esters of long chain fatty esters.

It has no chemical comparison to mineral diesel from oil except that it will self ignite under high pressure and temperature.

The name "biodiesel" was introduced in the United States in 1992 by the National SoyDiesel Development Board (now the National Biodiesel Board), which has pioneered the commercialization of biodiesel in the U.S. “Bio” refers to biomass derived from living plants, vegetables and animal derivatives used to make the product. Fossil fuels would have been biomass source a few million years ago.
