If it has a higher state of energy from being grown biodynamically it would be safe to assume.... that it would burn more efficiently.

I understand that oil from soybeans produced in Iowa is being used as "biodiesel fuel" which burns clean in lieu of using diesel fuel.  The buses in LA are using it.
 
Does this soybean oil biodiesel burn more clean if biodynamically grown?
