About Biodiesel:
Biodiesel is biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. It is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as fast as sugar. Biodiesel reduces emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) by approximately 50% and carbon dioxide (CO2) by 78%. Biodiesel reduces the emission of particulates, small particles of solid combustion products, by as much as 65%. This reduces cancer risks by up to 94% according to testing sponsored by the Department of Energy.
