**Definition of Biodiesel/ Source:** Biodiesel is a clean alternative fuel. It is produced from renewable, domestic resources such as vegetable oil and animal fat.  When biodiesel is being turned from animal fats and vegetable oil, the glycerin, a clear surpy substance found in the cells of plants and animals is separated from the rest of the oil or fat. After the glycerin is removed methyl esters is what is left behind. Methyl esters is the substance biodiesel is named from.
