Biodiesel will not add CO2 in the atmosphere because the process of making sugar involces photosynthesis in plants i.e converting C02 and H2O into carbohyderate. Plants do not convert 100% of Co2 into sugar, there are other carbohyderates. Hence total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will decrease if sugar is used to produce the biodiesel.
I am not counting if the land would have been used for planting some other kind of plants, that absorbe more CO2 than the plants that produce sugar.
Burning fossil fuel adds the pollution because it converts the trapped carbohyderate into CO2 into atmosphere, bio diesel process will first absorbe the CO2 from atmosphere. So no global warming.
