What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, non-toxic, and essentially free of sulphur and aromatics.

Biodiesel is better for the environment because it is made from renewable resources and has significantly lower emissions compared to petroleum diesel. It is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as fast as sugar. Since it is made in Australia from renewable resources such as canola, its use decreases our dependence on foreign oil and contributes to our own economy.
