NORTH CAROLINA BIODIESEL

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel that is non-toxic, biodegradable, clean burning, and renewable. In the United States, biodiesel is made primarily from various oilseed crops such as soybeans and secondarily from waste vegetable oil (WVO), which is essentially used restaurant cooking oil. Although, it can also be made from virtually any fat or oil, including animal fats, there are specific properties that make oils from crops such as Soybeans, Canola (or Rapeseed), Mustard, or Jatropha, more desirable than other fat sources.
