My family just purchased a new car and we are interested in using biodiesel as fuel instead of regular diesel. Are there any advantages and disadvantages to this approach?

Advantages of using biodiesel fuel includes fewer emissions than diesel, greater independence from petroleum, and cleaner burning than regular diesel fuel. Disadvantages of using biodiesel fuel include reduced lubricity leading to engine component wear and lowered efficiency, as well as an initial cost in obtaining the needed vegetable or animal oil for conversion.

Yes, there are benefits and drawbacks to using biodiesel as fuel in place of regular diesel.

Advantages: 
1. Biodiesel is a clean-burning renewable fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats. It produces fewer emissions than regular diesel, producing up to 80% less carbon dioxide and particulate matter according to some studies. 
2. Biodiesel can also help farmers diversify their production while making an important contribution to rural economic development as more farmers engage with the biodiesel industry, resulting in increased demand for crops such as soybeans and rapeseed (brassica campestris). Biodie el producers support jobs within the local economy by providing employment, income, and local infrastructure maintenance for businesses that serve the industry as well for those that make use of its products such as transport companies or retail establishments related to fuel purchase.  3. Biodie se l does not contain the contaminants that regular diesel can have which make it unsuitable for certain types of engines such benzene or sulfur which often contribute significantly with environmental pollutants produced from oil refining processes like conventional fuels today . Some engine manufactures suggest using blends above B10 may reduce noise issues common with some current generationsof lower quality lubricity additives but this still needs engineering attention on a specific application’s engine note vibration pattern characteristics prior introduction for proper operation performance & life cycles costs compared results achiev edd & experienced on customer equipment before implementing bio- based fuels into any production fleet operations under consideration 4 . With b o dia d i e sel , hazadrous polluting materials found in other “dryer” burning fuels like gasoline are eliminated by its cleaner nature during combustion helping preserve air quality; 5 . Because it is derived locally – rather than shipped around globally – producing green energy using alternative fuels supports local job security , preserving existing infrastructures used day today at home unlike nonrenewable sources coming mostly from global imports requiring additional capital expended cost inputs plus potential negative environmental externalities overseas being addressed overtime hereat in communities throughout Untied States ! These can range significantly due individual cases impacting land use deforestation/habitat disruptiin sustaninace fisheri g resource erosion/pollution reduction & overall economic progress initiative benefits both locally abroad across regions too via biogenic reactions converting sunlight nutrents into food power plants fertility preserving habitats conserving clean renew abilities contributi ngs overall healthier natural wealth enrichnent environment resources !
