Biodiesel fuels attracted a lot of attention in the 2000s, but today have largely been overshadowed by EVs. What happened, and where are they now?
The article from MSN discusses the trajectory of biodiesel, a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease, which was once heralded as a promising alternative to traditional diesel. Initially, biodiesel gained traction due to its environmental benefits, including lower emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants. However, several challenges have impacted its widespread adoption. These include the high cost of production, competition with food crops for land use, and issues with feedstock availability and quality. Over time, the enthusiasm for biodiesel has waned due to these economic and logistical hurdles, as well as the rise of other alternative fuels like electric and hydrogen. Despite these setbacks, biodiesel still plays a role in the renewable energy sector, particularly in blends with conventional diesel, but its path has been fraught with difficulties that have prevented it from becoming the dominant alternative fuel as once hoped.
