One of the main biofuels produced from renewable resources. Biodiesel can be made through esterification of various edible oils and petroleum-based products.

Biodiesel is any liquid biofuel suitable as a diesel fuel substitute or diesel fuel additive or extender. Biodiesel fuels are typically made from oils such as soybeans, rapeseed, or sunflowers, or from animal tallow. Biodiesel can also be made from hydrocarbons derived from agricultural products such as rice hulls.
