What is biodiesel?

Biodiesel (mono alkyl ester) is a cleaner-burning 
diesel fuel made from natural, renewable sources such  
as vegetable oils, to meet ASTMD 6751 specifications. Because 

it is renewable and domestically produced, biodiesel fits well 

under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which is in place to help ensure

national energy security through replacing imported petroleum products with 
domestic alternative fuels.

Why use biodiesel?

Diesel engines burning standard petroleum fuels produce carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and other toxic emissions  dangerous to human
health, and the environment. (see article on children and school bus emissions.)

	Biodiesel is non-toxic, biodegradable
	100% renewable and domestic
	Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
	Better engine performance
	Supports local farming communities
	Stops dependence on fossil fuels

Who can use biodiesel?

Biodiesel is a fully compatible liquid fuel and can be used in all diesel 
engines without any modifications. Whether used as a replacement fuel, a 
blending component, or an additive, biodiesel significantly reduces harmful  
emissions without reducing engine performance or efficiency.
