This paper presents the result of a study comparing two energy resources: diesel and bio-diesel. For the comparative analysis, the full cost accounting is used, a tool that encompasses all the factors involved in a specific project, including not only technical or economical aspects, but also environmental and social aspects. According to the results, it is pointed that both fuels are comparable, since both of them obtained similar scores. However, diesel fuel has more technical and economical advantages, whereas biodiesel proves to be superior in terms of social and environmental areas.
