can we use biodiesel instead of diesel in generators and boilers?
In which generator and boiler.
If you are asking about generator manufactured for operation on diesel, then no. You can’t replace diesel COMPLETELY with biodiesel without some modifications in engine. Though a blend of diesel and biodiesel is already in use in india (in unmodified diesel engines).
In haryana roadways buses 10% biodiesel is mixed with diesel and this percentage will gradually increase in near future.

Yes. That’s the whole idea! It’s a direct replacement with very similar burning qualities.
Rudolph Diesel originally designed his version of the internal combustion engine to run on vegetable oil; quite sensible, as the intention was to use it to power agricultural machinery. It just so happened that there was a fraction of crude oil that also worked well in this kind of engine, and so it acquired the name Diesel oil.
