And i would add that any vegetable oil can be used in diesel engine nearly as is.

So these tractors, dozers and hauling trucks in mine can become carbon neutral tomorrow if we decide to let the (third?) World starve.

An interesting point is that ethanol mixed in petrol at the pump, when coming from corn and cereal: Europe and USA, is actually a net loss in term of fossil fuel

More black oil is consumed then saved by switching to E10 in these countries.

When using agricultural wastes, it is a positive and so different.

So E10 usually a political move aka agricultural subsidies in hiding.

Vegetable oil as fuel on the other end makes sense, but is so far only cheaper by the absence of taxes.

So people mix vegetable oil with diesel at the retail level but not at the official pump stations.

I like following these cars smelling like cheap fries.
