Alternave Fuels
By Jubair, Thohura and Mukhtar
 
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a long chain Hydro Carbon formed from reacng an alcohol with (lipids) animal fats and vegetable oils.
Biodiesel can be used in standard diesel engines without needing to convert them with a ≤20% blend.
More than 20% or 100% biodiesel fuels may require modicaons to the engine.

Compared with diesel
Biofuel is a much higher quality fuel than average diesel fuels, (has a high cetane rang-tendency for diesel to ignite, similar to that of octane number).
Its lubricang properes are beer than that of average diesel prolonging the life of fuel (injecon) system of engine.
Less pollutant than normal diesel, (which is also a polical factor), it can be obtained from varying sources and types of oil.

Issues
Although most engines do not need to be converted to run on biodiesel, the high reacvity of biodiesel with plascs, many metals and rubber means biofuels can be detrimental to older engines.
Biodiesel is usually slightly more expensive that normal diesel unless government subsidies are provided.
Also there is a very inecient yield, minimal amount of biodiesel produced from a lot of oil.
