Biodeiesel, (a clean, renewable diesel-like fuel that minimizes exhaust emissions and air toxins) is one of the most thoroughly tested alternative fuels, with over 100 million kilometers of in-field use. Large scale biodiesel production capacity in North America now exceeds 1.2 billion liters and continues to grow annually.

Biodiesel: Basics and Beyond draws on the collective experience of North American and European researchers, with the author redeveloping and detailing the step-by-step processes and equipment required for the micro and small-scale producer to produce biodiesel fuel that can meet North American standards. The book details the construction and operation of a 40-gallon-per-day, scalable-size biodiesel production facility, including a test and measurement laboratory for determining fuel quality.
