The technology of motor fuel synthesis from vegetable oils or animal fats was developed quite a long time ago. Such fuels are classified as a synthetic fuel called biodiesel (BD). In contrast to diesel fuel produced from petroleum, BD is virtually free of aromatic and sulfur-containing compounds, which decreases the content of hazardous substances in combustion products. The main advantages of BD fuel as compared to similar fuels produced from petroleum are well known and require no special discussion here.
