Does anyone know of any sources of data the show what kind of pollutants are produced by burning alternatives to diesel?
I was reading about pollution levels for fuels some time back and what I gathered was this:
BioDiesel is way cleaner, on pollutants across the board, than the cleanest petrol/gasoline and alot cleaner than DinoDiesel. The only downside to BioDiesel is that it puts out just a tiny bit more Nitrates - one thing. All the other metrics Biodiesel was very clean.

I think the whole anti-diesel thing is politically motivated.
