Black diesel, often referred to as biodiesel or waste vegetable oil diesel, is made by converting used cooking oil or animal fats into a usable fuel. The process involves filtering the oil to remove food particles, then mixing it with methanol and a catalyst (usually sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) to facilitate a chemical reaction called transesterification. This reaction separates the glycerin from the fatty acids, resulting in biodiesel and glycerin byproducts. The biodiesel can then be used directly in diesel engines or blended with regular diesel fuel.
