Bio fuels are a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

Some examples are that of biodiesel, which entails growing crops that contain high amounts of natural oil then through a process of hydrogenation or refining a more compatible bio diesel, substitute is created.

These are examples of first generation biofuels and due to their nature they may or may not be long-term economically or environmentally viable.

Biodiesel is considered a non-flammable and non-combustible product.

Optimally, dedicated biodiesel tanker trucks and associated transfer components should be used to transport biodiesel. If non-dedicated equipment is used, it must be washed, rinsed, drained and dried prior to biodiesel loading in order to avoid any cross-contamination.
