i am on a commitee to convert our school to biodiesel(more specifically, a council of teachers and students trying to convince the school board). our first meeting is wednesday and i know almost nothing about biodiesel.
so far, i know:
made from soybean oil
cheaper than traditional diesel
renewable, so it will stay cheaper
no need to do anything to your automobile that runs on diesel
we are going to make some as well. it won't be pure enough to use in a truck, though.
since the prices of fossil fuels rise, won't that cause the price of goods that are shipped by truck to rise? if so, biodiesel could help fix that, i think.
anyone know anything about biodiesel?
