Biodiesel
A vegetable or animal fat-based diesel fuel.
Notes
Biodiesel is a liquid fuel refined from vegetable oils or animal fats, used to power combustion engines and generators with a high fuel value of 80,000. It is a solid block that stacks to 10 and is carried on the back, making it a dense, transportable energy source for mid-to-late-game industry. Because biodiesel is a cleaner-burning alternative to raw petroleum fuels, using it can help reduce the air pollution and CO2 emissions that degrade housing value and the shared ecosystem.
