Does biodiesel increase nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions?

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions from biodiesel increase or decrease depending on the engine family and testing procedures. NOx emissions (a contributing factor in the localized formation of smog and ozone) from biodiesel were previously believed to increase 2.9% in B20 blends. However, a more recent study from October 2006 conducted by the US National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) has demonstrated that biodiesel blends do not increase NOx.
