In my mind, most biodiesel fuel would come from crops specifically grown.

The growth of the plants themselves would help take the carbon dioxide out of the air, they're also availible in all seasons. Another advantage to our economy is that canola plants could be a lucrative crop for struggling farmers who can't compete with cheap overseas import produce.

I haven't started researching what car makers think of the fuel, but I have heard that one of the US manufacturers stated that using biodiesel fuel in their diesel engines would not void the warantee. I also know that some modern diesel cars don't need any upgrades to the fueling system to run biodiesel.



for crops to be grown specifically for it, can you imagine the ammount of farmable land required to produce enough bio deisels to replace the millions of barrels of oil per DAY the world is using? i think one of the only things more scarce than our oil supplys is our usable land.

have a read of this..and i mean all of it
