It can also be made from used fryer oil thats discarded by restaurants as a waste product.
How to produce biodiesel. Vegetable and other natural oils are thicker than diesel fuel so must be thinned in order to properly operate in a diesel engine.

Furthermore the production of biodiesel generates glycerol.
Biodiesel can be made from plant oils such as soybean oil canola oil cottonseed oil and others or from animal fats such as beef or chicken tallow or pork lard. So yes that really means you can make fuel out of what restaurants consider to be garbage. Home biodiesel production will help you speed past the gas station on the road to fuel independence.
If the reaction is higher than 65C a pressure vessel is required because methanol will boil at 65C. Glycerin is useful and can be used to make soap and things. After 12-14 hours it should be separated out.
Different studies have. This involves vegetable or animal fats and oils being reacted with short-chain alcohols typically methanol or ethanol. Weve focused on the processes used to make ethanol from fermentation and to create other products using thermochemical methods.
Recently Severson et al. There may be some unreacted catalyst too. Now we will look at making biodiesel from fats using transesterification as well as other methods being investigated.
You can also compost it. The main byproduct of biodiesel is glycerin. No modifications are required and the result is.
