Methanol is a poison, when oxygenated one thing it becomes is formaldehyde, used to embalm bodies because it kills absolutely everything. And you are right, burning the bio-diesel creates the same co2 ans other emmissions as burning petroleum diesel. There is great profit here, collecting used cooking oil, straining it, heating it with methanol and lye and separating the bio-diesel from the glycerine and the rest of it. Problem is the rest of it is a toxic if dumped as-is. Yes, one of the end by-products of bio-desiel is glycerine tainted with methanol.
