Biodiesel vs. Diesel Fuel

 

There are significant differences in environmental impact when comparing biodiesel and diesel’s life cycle emissions. While both fuels produce similar amounts of carbon dioxide during combustion, biodiesel’s carbon dioxide emission is partially offset by the growth of plants like soybeans and other feedstock used to make biodiesel fuel. This leads to a notable decrease in net carbon dioxide emissions over its life cycle.

The U.S. Department of Energy reports that pure biodiesel emissions are reduced by 74% compared to diesel. Meanwhile, a B20 blend reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 15%.

The difference between diesel and biodiesel is also apparent when observing other emission pollutants. Research published by the Institute of Physics (IOP) revealed the following results:
