 Biodiesel can be made from a wide variety of sources. Oil
producing plants including soy, sunflower, canola/rapeseed, coconut
palm, jatropha and even algae
can be used. Animal fats (tallow) and waste cooking oil, are also an
excellent source. There are also new processes being developed that can
extract the oils from almost any organic waste. These oils are
chemically reacted with other substances like methanol and sodium
hydroxide to form biodiesel. Biodiesel can be made by anyone willing to
follow a simple recipe with commonly available ingredients, or can be
made on a commercial scale.
