I believe there is research showing substantial reductions in overall life cycle CO2 emissions with biodiesel. If you compared it to growing trees that you never cut down and burned, then it is not as beneficial. All crops suck CO2 from the atmosphere so they get credit for that versus fossil fuels, even though they eventually release it back. Trees on the other hand can sequester carbon for hundreds of years.
