Biodiesel is renewable fuel for diesel engines. It is defined by ASTM International (D 6751), consists of long chain fatty acid alkyl esters and is made from renewable vegetable oils, recycled cooking oils or animal fats. Biodiesel is safer for the environment and produces significantly less air pollution compared to petroleum diesel.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s lifecycle study, B100 biodiesel reduces lifecycle carbon emissions by 78%. Biodiesel is also an efficient fuel, as it creates 3.2 units of energy for each unit of energy consumed in the production of the fuel.

There are numerous potential benefits from production and use of Biodiesel.

  • Economic Benefits: Production of Biodiesel can result in increase rural employment and provide additional markets for agricultural crops.
  • Energy Security: Displacement of petro-diesel by Biodiesel decreases our reliance on import of petroleum.
  • Environmental Benefits: Compared to petro-diesel, use of Biodiesel (including blends) provides significant reductions in harmful emissions.
