Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a type of fuel, made from biological sources that can be used as a replacement for oil based diesel fuel. The important point is that, because Biodiesel is made from plants, it is Carbon Neutral. When it is burned, it only releases as much CO2 as was originally absorbed by the plants it was made from when they were growing.
