Biodiesel
It is through a chemical process called "esterification of esters and fatty acids" that natural oils, such as those found in plants or animal fats, are transformed into biodiesel. This happens when these oils react with alcohols in the presence of a special type of catalytic agent. The result of this process is a more environmentally friendly and renewable type of fuel, which can be used in vehicle engines and generators that normally use fossil fuels. This type of fuel is more environmentally friendly, cleaner and causes less environmental impact.
