Etymology

[edit]

    From bio- + diesel.

    Noun

    [edit]

    biodiesel (countable and uncountable, plural biodiesels)

    1. Fuel for diesel engines made from renewable organic raw materials, as opposed to fossil hydrocarbons.
      Synonym: bioderv
      Coordinate term: petrodiesel
      • 2006 November 21, Jessica Seid Dickler, “Make your own gas”, in CNN Money[2], archived from the original on 12 February 2025:
        Biodiesel is an increasingly popular alternative fuel because it's made by refining oil. Thinner than vegetable oil, biodiesel can power diesel engines without further conversion.
      • 2007, Ayhan Demirbas, Biodiesel: A Realistic Fuel Alternative for Diesel Engines, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 197:
        Biodiesel is a technologically feasible alternative to petrodiesel, but nowadays biodiesel costs 1.5 to 3 times more than fossil diesel in developed countries.
