biodiesel

biodiesel

fuel
      a fuel made primarily from oily plants (such as the soybean or oil palm) and to a lesser extent from other oily sources (such as waste cooking fat from restaurant deep-frying). Biodiesel, which has found greatest acceptance in Europe, is used in diesel engines (diesel engine) and usually blended with petroleum diesel fuel in various percentages (see also renewable energy).
