In this Make audio show- we interview Rob Elam and talk about all things Biodiesel, what it is, how it’s made, the efficiencies and more! Biodiesel is a clean-burning, domestically-produced fuel derived from a variety of renewable agricultural resources such as soybeans or mustard seed. It can be burned in any conventional diesel engine either in pure form or in a blend of any proportion with petroleum diesel. Biodiesel delivers equivalent engine performance while substantially decreasing harmful emissions.
