About Biodiesel A cleaner burning alternative fuel Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel produced from domestic renewable resources, such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled cooking oil. Biodiesel reduces virtually all regulated emissions including carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and unburned hydrocarbons. The use of biodiesel can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide – the main gas responsible for global warming. Biodiesel can be stored, transported and delivered in the existing diesel infrastructure, making the transition to biodiesel easy and cost-effective. Biodiesel is the fastest growing alternative fuel in the country. Proven production technology makes biodiesel immediately applicable in the effort to reduce the use of foreign oil. Biodiesel Performance Biodiesel can be used in diesel engines with no modifications and does not void warranties of major U.S. engine manufacturers. Biodiesel’s natural lubricity decreases engine maintenance costs and increases engine life. Biodiesel has a higher cetane level, similar fuel economy, horsepower, and torque as petroleum diesel fuel. B100 Market B100 is a 100% biodiesel product. Distributors blend B100 with diesel fuel to a 20% ratio, called B20. B20 can be used in virtually any diesel engine, producing the numerous performance benefits outlined above.
