Yes, biodiesel and any biofuel is produced from vegetation that has recently absorbed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it grew. When we turn it into biodiesel and that is burnt, it releases that same carbon dioxide. So it is not adding CO2 to the atmosphere. It is carbon neutral.

Fossil fuels, on the other hand, when burnt, release carbon that had been hidden underground safely for millions of years, thus adding to the amount of greenhouses gases.
