BioDiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerin is separated from the fat or vegetable oil. The process leaves behind two products - methyl esters (the chemical name for BioDiesel) and glycerin.

• BioDiesel can be produced from any fat or vegetable oil, including waste cooking oil.
• BioDiesel can be used in any diesel engine - with no modifications to the engine.
• BioDiesel can be mixed with ordinary diesel fuel in any proportion - even a small amount of BioDiesel means cleaner emissions and better engine lubrication: 1% BioDiesel will increase lubricity by 65%. Better lubrication means less engine wear, another benefit.
• Fuel economy is the same as conventional diesel fuel.
• BioDiesel is a much better lubricant than conventional diesel fuel and extends engine life - a German truck won an entry in the Guinness Book of Records by traveling more than 1.25 million km (780,000 miles) on BioDiesel with its original engine.
• BioDiesel has a high cetane rating, which improves engine performance: 20% BioDiesel added to conventional diesel fuel improves the cetane rating 3 points, making it a Premium fuel.
• The flash point of BioDiesel in its pure form is more than 266°F versus approximately 125°F for regular diesel. This makes BioDiesel much safer than diesel.
