Rapeseed oil as a diesel substitute, that was a real hype in the early 2000s.
🚜 In agriculture, many vehicles were operated with self-produced vegetable oil. It works and is even good for the climate.
As it grows, the plant binds the same amount of CO₂ to itself as it later emits when burned, which is why rapeseed oil is climate-neutral as a fuel.
The trend was short-lived, however. This video tells the story of why canola oil and vegetable oils in general have not yet caught on as a fuel, and why it would make sense to do so.
