With a staggering economy, climbing gas prices and global climate change, some researchers are exploring sources other than petroleum for fuel. Organic matter is one such source. Materials like corn and soybeans have oil extracts that can be converted to ethanol or biodiesel.

In this series of posts we will learn how to do Biodiesel at home and possibly how to verify if its good and how to use it in our own cars.
