Biodiesel B100
Biodiesel B100
Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable fuel made from biological sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled cooking grease. It is produced through a chemical process called **transesterification**, where triglycerides (the main components of fats and oils) react with an alcohol (typically methanol) in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide). This reaction converts the triglycerides into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME)—the primary constituents of biodiesel—along with glycerol as a byproduct.
