The name "biodiesel" has been given to transesterified vegetable oil to describe its use as a diesel fuel. Transesterification is the process used by virtually all technology providers in the marketplace today. Biodiesel can be made from plant oils, animal tallow and used vegetable/cooking oils when the triglyceride components of the feedstock come in contact with an alkali catalyst and alcohol. The basic process is not new, in 1893 Rudolf Diesel used peanut oil to create diesel fuel and biodiesel was born.
