International Biodiesel Day
August 10 · Level 4 · #1398 of 2238
International Biodiesel Day puts the spotlight on fuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It offers a chance to explore renewable transport fuels and why their environmental impact depends on how the raw materials are sourced and processed.
How it is celebrated: industry groups and enthusiasts share research, explain production methods and run awareness activities. Biodiesel blends are another common discussion topic.
Used cooking oil can become a biodiesel ingredient. It needs chemical processing first, though: oil straight from a frying pan is not finished biodiesel.
