BIODIESEL
Do you know that the oil used to fry fish, French fries, chicken, etc. can be collected and then used as fuel for cars, trucks, and other vehicles that have diesel engines? All you have to do is to pass the used cooking oil through a fine filter to remove the very small food particles and then add a little lye and and then a little methyl alcohol (methanol) to remove the glycerin from the cooking oil. After an aging period of a day or so, you now have an organic, biodegradable, non-toxic fuel that's called biodiesel. Read the Wikipedia article on biodiesel and then explain in your own words why vegetable oil or biodiesel could be a good alternative to diesel fuel to use in passenger or commercial vehicles.

potential to help reduce oil dependence and Biodiesel is one of many alternative fuel options that has thepotential to help reduce oil dependence and global warming pollution اbut done wrong, biodiesel can actually increase global warming pollution and cause other environmental problems, such as deforestation and loss of biodiversity. With good policies in place to promote sustainable low carbon fuels, like a low carbon fuel standard, biodiesel can be an important part of a clean fuel mix. Together with fuel economy improvements and reductions in travel demand, cleaner alternative fuels can help our transportation system meet energy security and environmental goals
