Module 8 provides information about biodiesel standards and regulatons and use of biodiesel as a fuel for diesel engines and as a heating. Life cycle analysis and the variable energy return on energy investment (EROI) values. Finally, Europe's initial endorsement and widespread use of biodiesel, increasing reliance on environmentally destructive palm oil and the subsequent ban by 2030 are described.
