biodiesel
Biodiesel is completely miscible with petroleum diesel fuels, heating oils and other distillates.

  • Improves Air Quality - biodiesel burns more cleanly than petrodiesel, eliminating black soot, reducing tailpipe emissions and urban smog
  • Reduces Global Warming - biodiesel reduces lifecycle Greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), assisting efforts to meet objectives under the Kyoto Protocol
  • Improves Economy / Environment - biodiesel is produced from local agriculture and by recovering and reusing wastes (recycled cooking oils, slaughterhouse wastes) that might otherwise be dumped into the environment
  • Non-toxic & Biodegradable - biodiesel is environmentally benign and reduces the ecotoxilogical effects of petrodiesel spills
  • Easy to Use - no changes are needed to existing infrastructure for fuel distribution, delivery, engines nor components

reduced tailpipe emissions
Biodiesel (B100) reduces tailpipe emissions of Particulate Matter by 47%, Hydrocarbons by 67% and Carbon Monoxide by 48%. Blends of 20% Biodiesel (B20) reduce Particulate Matter by 12%, Hydrocarbons by 20% and Carbon Monoxide by 12%.

reduced lifecycle GHGs
Biodiesel significantly reduces lifecycle carbon dioxide, an important greenhouse gas, when compared with petroleum diesel. A blend of B20 will reduce lifecycle carbon dioxide by as much as 16 to 20 percent, depending on the feedstock used.

flexible integration
Biodiesel blends of B5 and B20 will run in any diesel engine with few or no modifications to the engine or the fuel system. They provide similar horsepower, torque and mileage as diesel. Biodiesel is a flexible fuel that can be integrated into your fueling infrastructure little modification.
