A fuel typically made from soybean, canola, or other vegetable oils; animal fats; and recycled grease. It can serve as a substitute for petroleum-derived diesel or distillate fuel. For EIA reporting [..]

also bio-diesel, 1992, from bio- + diesel.

fuel made at least partly from renewable sources such as soy oil, palm oil, or animal fats.

Alternative fuel made from virgin vegetable oil or used vegetable oil. Some animal fats like beef tallow and fish oil can be used to make biodiesel fuel. May be blended with conventional diesel to get different blends such as B2 (2 percent biodiesel and 98 percent conventional diesel) or B20 (20 percent biodiesel) or it can be used as 100 percent b [..]

According to 10 CFR 490.702 [Title 10 Energy; Chapter II Department of Energy; Subchapter D Energy Conservation; Part 490 Alternative Fuel Transportation Program; Subpart H Biodiesel Fuel Use Credit], [..]

Diesel fuel made from biomass.

A biodegradable transportation fuel for use in diesel engines. Biodiesel is produced through the transesterification of organically derived oils or fats. It may be used either as a replacement for or as a component of diesel fuel.

Biofuel obtained by converting plant or animal oils, such as rapeseed, sunflower or used cooking oil. Commonly referred to as diester in Europe and North America. It can be used in existing diesel eng [..]

Fuel recycled from organic oils and fats

Fuel recycled from organic oils and fats

Diesel fuel made at least partly from non-petroleum sources, such as used restaurant grease. Most diesel-powered vehicles can use biodiesel without conversion or alteration of the engine.

Biodiesel is a fuel that can be used in conventional diesel engines as a replacement for mineral diesel (fossil-fuel derived). It is made from plant or animal oils or fats that have been chemically processed into alkyl esters. Their environmental sustainability depends hugely on what types of plant/animal material the fuel is derived from (and wher [..]

Diesel fuel derived from plants.

 A domestic, renewable fuel for diesel engines derived from natural oils like soybean oil, and which meets the specifications of ASTM D 6751. “B10 Fuel” means a fuel mixture consisting of 10% biodiesel and 90% diesel fuel. "B100 Fuel" is 100% biodiesel.

Renewable fuel created by combining methanol or ethanol (the base) with vegetable oil, such as canola or soybean oil, of animal fat. It can be used in any diesel engine, either by itself or blended with petroleum diesel.

Fuel derived from vegetable oils or animal fats.  It is produced when a vegetable oil or animal fat is chemically reacted with an alcohol.

An alternative fuel for use in diesel engines that is made from natural renewable sources such animal fats or vegetable oils and does not contain petroleum. It has similar properties to petroleum but releases fewer environmental pollutants in its emissions. Biodiesel can be used in diesel engines with little or no modifications, either as a diesel [..]

An alternative to diesel fuel that is made from renewable resources, such as animal fats or vegetable oils.

is produced by a chemical reaction between methanol (alcohol) and either vegetable oil or animal fat. It can be used on its own as a substitute for diesel, or blended with diesel to reduce emissions.

Biodiesel is a cleaner–burning diesel replacement fuel made from natural, renewable sources such as new and used vegetable oils and animal fats. Like petroleum diesel, biodiesel operates in compressio [..]

A fuel made from vegetable oils, recycled restaurant oils or animal fat. The oil or fat is typically processed into a methyl ester. It is low in sulfur, biodegradable and is derived from renewable pro [..]

Refers to a diesel-equivalent processed fuel derived from biological sources (such as vegetable oils) which can be used in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles.

Any diesel fuel that is created through the transesterification of fat. Comes in various mixtures of 100%, 20%, 5%, and 2%.

A renewable fuel in which soy or canola oil is refined through a special process and blended with standard diesel oil. Biodiesel does not contain ethanol, but research is underway to develop diesel blends with ethanol.

A renewable fuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats that can be used in standard diesel engines with little or no modification.

Fuel for diesel engines made of renewable organic raw materials as opposed to fossil hydrocarbons.

Fuel that comes from the oil that can be harvested from certain plants.
