USE of more biodiesel would make a positive contribution to reducing carbon pollution, according to newly published energy research from the University of Idaho and USDA.
The research shows that for every unit of fossil energy needed to produce biodiesel, the return is 4.5 units of energy.
The report says this energy-in, energy-out ratio is energy balance and that biodiesel made from soybean oil has a high energy balance because the main energy source used to grow soybeans is solar.
