Petrobras Develops Hydrogenation Process to Produce Diesel Fuel with Vegetable Oil, in Green Car Congress Energy, Technologies, Issues and Policies for Sustainable Mobility. 2006. 

UOP and Eni have developed the Ecofining process, a new, sustainable, route for converting vegetable oil into premium quality diesel fuel. This green diesel product is a superior alternative to FAME, with significantly better diesel product properties and is fully compatible with conventional mineral diesel products. The Ecofining... 

Biodiesel is a renewable energy produced from sustainable animal fat and vegetable oil feedstocks, such as soy, rapeseed, sunflowers, palm oil, hemp, and algae, and can be used as a vehicle or transportation fuel. As with ethanol, however, biodiesel is more often used as a diesel additive to reduce the levels of pollution emitted by traditional diesel engines. It is primarily produced through a process known as transesterification, which is the exchange or conversion of an organic acid ester into another ester.
