Difference Between Diesel and Biodiesel Diesel and biodiesel are two carbon-based organic products, extracted from different sources. The former resulting from the cracking process of petroleum / crude oil, while the latter is known to be extracted from animal fats and plant oils. Diesel, although not so common as high-octane petrol these days, it is more adaptable to high-commodity diesel-engine vehicles because of its high energy density. Biodiesel, being the extraction product obtained from plant oils and animal fats, while diesel from the swiftly decreasing non-renewable energy sources present in the earth’s crust, both are limited in terms of availability; biodiesel being far more unavailable than its counterpart at the present moment. The biggest difference among the two is simply that diesel is a depleting, non –renewable source of energy whereas bio-diesel is the exact opposite. Originally, diesel engines were assembled and regarded as very high-tech and efficient machines when
