There has been much talk of biofuels and in particular biodiesel being touted as a more carbon friendly alternative to traditional petroleum based fuel. Remember how oil prices soared immediately after the Hurricane Katrina, now is a good time for alternative fuel.
The dilemma seems to be that biodiesel is undoubtedly greener than traditional petroleum based fuel. The main problem with bio-fuels today is the source of the raw materials. Despite the fact that biodiesel is new in the market, there are already companies that exclusively distribute the product.
Biofuel is defined as liquid or gas transportation fuel derived from biomass. What the biofuel discussion points to is the urgency for businesses to begin planning for the inevitability of a green energy world in order to protect themselves from rising energy costs and clean energy regulations, policies, and taxes. It can be produced in any climate using the local resources.
Using biodiesel is very cost effective and can save a lot of money. Most people who refine this alternative fuel are more then willing to share their knowledge because that's the best way to advertise its benefits.
