Its harder I believe to make biodiesel than ethanol as more land in needed for oil crops.
Currently, there are waste foods being dump that could be fermented into ethanol, just like waste oil from fish and chip shops.
A large percentage of the population cant get waste oil to make biodiesel, so what other options are there?
Ethanol I believe is the most sustainable and also be used in a fuel cell which will increase its efficiency to 80% compared to an IC engine of 20 - 25%.

I think it was an oil lobby...
Infact a lot of oil crops produce less than 1 tonne of oil per hectare...
However some crops produce a good quantity of oil as oil palm and jatropha...
It's a good partial solution...
