Grease instead of petrochemical diesel fuel, waste oil from deep frying food generated by millions of restaurants daily for example. Waste oil from kitchens that prep food at grocery stores & supermarkets. Used motor oil from auto parts stores. Even oil can be extract from road cleaning machines from all the engine oil leak drippings on the asphalt, concrete and similar modern industrial roads cleaned regularly street sweepers. Oil is commercially extracted from tar sands in Canada using huge amounts of steam and solvents.

Endlessly Renewable Fuels
Renewable fuels made from waste oil, recycled oil, even old car tires, or plastic recovered from the oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. We can make renewable gasoline, renewable diesel, renewable av gas, renewable jet fuel and renewable fuels for rockets. In other words we can empower transportation by switching away from finite crude oil resources and embrace renewable feedstocks.

Vehicle Energy Economy Focus Boosting Fuel Economy & Lowering Emissions
At the same time improve thermal efficiency of new engines so they use less fuel while making more power and torque, there are many ways to optimize combustion engines of all kinds, especially mixing the engine output with electric motors that make torque instantly and can also act as generators so the engine can turn off and stop burning fuel when the vehicle making electricity to charge the battery with brake regeneration when slowing down or going down a hill, saving that energy in a battery energy storage module system or bank of ultra or super capacitors for later use in the electric traction motor so the vehicle can accelerate on electric power from the battery or capacitor or to help the gasoline motor early in RPM where the electric motors early torque optimized as the engine spools up to higher RPM where the electric motor is worse and where the engine is stronger at it peak power output RPM. Toyota does this in Prius for 20+ year by mixing two electric motor generators with a fuel efficient Atkinson cycle optimize gasoline piston engine, as is done in almost all Lexus and Toyota Hybrid vehicles of many different models today.

Small Scale Biodiesel
There are YouTube videos of rural farmers in southeast Asia that save up spent fry oil from their community level wok cooking in most homes nearby. They then cook the oil with sodium hydroxide and use inverted plastic water jugs in a DIY frame with a valve to act as a separator funnel to drain off the waste fluid & save the resulting biodiesel that is then used as fuel in small simple diesel engine farm equipment in very rural locals where petrochemical diesel fuel not feasibly to purchase as its sold in glass bottles far away that is costly in terms of energy, fuel & time to access. It's much more practical and cost effective to make the biofuel diesel from spent dirty fry oil used to cook foods in woks or conical steel pans with handles that are used to stir fry veggies & meat & mushrooms or insects in hot oil, along with herbs and spices for seasoning, flavor, taste & aroma improvement, like hot chilies, garlic, shallots, pepper, salt, etc.

No stir peanut butter has HVO or hydrogenated vegetable oil added as a stabilizers to keep the sugars, peanut oil and peanut solids from separating, but HVO a source of toxic trans fats proven to damage arteries, veins or the cardio vascular health of people who eat a lot of trans fats. Natural or organic peanut butter (read ingredients) made from roasted peanuts & salt, does not contain anything else & when sitting on the shelf the peanut oil rises to the top of the jar. Peanut oil incredibly energy dense, but to make a peanut butter paste again the jar must be stirred with great effort to evenly mix the peanut oil back into the peanut solids.

How to Make Biodiesel on Small Scale in 4 Days
Ingredients
70 grams of lye
1.9 liters methanol
3 gallons of filtered waste oil, collected from spent used cooking oil. Waste Veggie Oil!
Add the lye to the methanol in a jug, allow it to dissolve completely. Do this outside as the warm hot methanol vapor bad for your eyes, kidney, liver, & brain. The methanol vapors will mix with water vapor in the air & achieve gas diffusion dilution remediation quickly automatically in outdoor air. Do not do this inside where the air stale or not moving as you could be exposed to methanol vapors that are poisonous.
Once the lye is dissolved in the methanol, add this mixture to the jug containing the waste oil and you can watch the reaction take place almost immediately. This is called esterification of the glycerol similar to making soap from lye water & olive oil, except we are making biodiesel FAME liquid or Fatty Acid Methyl Ester.
Cap the jug tightly & shake it or agitate it violently to mix up the lye methanol and waste oil to help the reaction production of FAME proceed fully. Not let it sit for 4 days. You can repeat the process in many other jugs of waste oil with lye in methanol added as the FAME production catalyst. This batch production can be done in small cheap plastic jugs to keep you overhead costs low in terms of equipment.
After a few days, you will see a dark layer of glycerin + waste junk at the bottom of the jug, gravity separated. The warm brown clear liquid on top the biodiesel FAME product. Decant or poor off the biodiesel fame into another jug you can use to fill your fuel tank or vehicle with biodiesel.
If your doing this to make biodiesel for an on road TDI automobile, make sure there is a gallon or so of regular petrochemical diesel in the vehicles fuel tank, since you can probably run up to 80% biodiesel without issues like fuel gelling in warmer temperatures or warmer weather. In colder locations you can probably run 30% biodiesel and a cetane additive can be added to the tank to reduce thickness or viscosity of the fuel mix in winter cold freezing conditions.
Cleaning the biodiesel during production by washing it with water 3 or 4 times to reduce the PH so it does not corrode your fuel system, injectors, etc, and filtering it more will make a cleaner fuel to avoid clogging your vehicles fuel filter faster and prolong the life of other components. Water washing also takes oil more of the remaining glycerin. I highly recommended cleaning the biodiesel if you're using it in a daily driver.
'You also might be able to buy B20 or B30 biodiesel at a fueling station. HPR diesel from Propel even better // https://propelfuels.com/our_fuels
Making Renewable Fuels, Biofuels, Synthetic Fuels, its very easy to repurpose existing oil refinery technologies & technologies widely commercialized by natural gas & the downstream petrochemical industry, industrial fluid and gas processing equipment to make renewable, cleaner burning, sustainable fuels to energize future transportation engines of all kinds.
