Biodiesel is made from plant oils (e.g. soybean oil) through a chemical process called transesterification. “Green diesel” is diesel made from catalytic processing (traditional refining methods) of oils produced from biomass. Both processes use oils from plants and animals instead of crude oil, making both of them “greener” than petroleum-based diesel.
