With the increasing awareness of global climate change, the world is looking for alternative energy resource. From centuries we are depending on fossil-based energy but they produce a lot of carbon gas emission, the most responsible cause of global climate change.

Along with green movement, the world turns to renewable resources for alternative energy. Biodiesel is one of them. It provides new energy for diesel-based machine, mostly used in industry, but with less carbon gas emission. However, biodiesel is not that so good to be true. It is true that biodiesel is clean and green but we must remember that it made from crop plants products like crude palm, corn and soya oil.

Yes, it brings dilemma. In one side, there is a high demand of biodiesels and it is good to prevent global climate change. But in other hand, with the use of crop plant products as biodiesels sources, there is a lack of food supply and as a result, the price is soaring high. Off course the most suffering victims are those living in third world country. With soaring food price, their life becomes much tougher. It is true that biodiesel is good for our world, but is it good for humanity? The future will give us the answer.
