Biodiesel and renewable diesel are closely related fuels made from the same oils and fats, which remain scarce, expensive, and linked to deforestation and food price spikes. When policymakers subsidize new technologies, the justification is often the potential that scaling up a new technology will lead to cost reductions over time.
