Biodiesel Resources / Overview
Biodiesel is a cleaner-burning diesel fuel, which is made from natural, renewable sources, such as vegetable oils. It is not an experimental fuelit has been proven in diesel engines, over millions of road miles in many countries for decades, and it has been approved for use by diesel engine manufacturers.
Biodiesel demonstrates significant benefits to the environment and to the public health. Biodiesel cuts exhaust emissions, and it minimizes black smoke, odor, greenhouse gas emissions, air toxics, and in particular, it does not contribute to sulfur dioxide emissions (acid rain).
Biodiesel can be used with your current fueling infrastructure and in all modern diesel vehicles with no engine modifications necessary. Biodiesel's high Cetane number, high flash point, and increased lubricity mean excellent engine performance and safety, with no impact on fuel economy. For this reason, it is easy to phase in and out, so you can maintain flexibility in technology deployment. And now that biodiesel-petroleum blends (B5) are reaching par with petroleum, Biodiesel is rapidly becoming a mainstream alternative fuel in the US.
