Traditional diesel is produced from mineral crude oil. Biodiesel is produced from a variety of vegetable oils, including but not limited to palm, rape, canola, soy, linseed, coconut, mustard and cotton oils. It can also be manufactured from tallow oil and yellow grease (used cooking oils).

It offers similar power and energy content to ULSD. Biodiesel has emerged as a realistic and desirable alternative, or blended addition, to mineral diesel and is becoming an increasingly valuable contributor to the worlds drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It has been in general pure use for the last 10 years in continental Europe. However, the majority of the UK biodiesel produced is expected to be used as a 5 per cent. blend with mineral diesel.
