What is biodiesel?

Biodiesel can be distinguished from the straight vegetable oils (SVO) or the waste vegetable oils (WVO) which are used as fuels in some diesel vehicles.

Biodiesel can be prepared at home. To make biodiesel you will require the following ingredients namely any triglyceride fat or oil i.e. vegetable which is used in cooking, a relatively pure alcohol i.e. either ethanol or methanol and you will also require a strong base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). A long carbon chain which is longer than that of isopropyl alcohol do not work so well. Used oil is often acquired from restaurants for processing.

There are various methods of preparing biodiesel. It is commonly prepared in the garages in small batch processors while some have adapted processors that fit in the backs of vans which makes it transportable. Home brewers face difficulty that they produce a mid-scale biodiesel which is too simple to be cheap, easy to make, safe and appropriate that the producers have sufficient quality for their requirements.
