Environmentally Beneficial. Biodiesel meets rigorous EPA Clean Air
Act standards. Because it is derived from renewable resources biodiesel
is an environmentally-conscious fuel choice. Biodiesel significantly
reduces the harmful emissions associated with global warming while
enhancing lubricity of conventional diesel fuel.
Versatile and Reliable. Pure biodiesel (also called B100 or neat
biodiesel) is a clean-burning alternative fuel with a range of applications.
It is most often blended with petroleum diesel or with home heating
oil.
Easy to use. Biodiesel operates like petroleum diesel—no need for
engine modifications. Its high cetane rating helps assure efficient
ignition.
Blending biodiesel with heating oil—for use as Bioheat®
fuel¹ —requires no change to oil-burning furnaces. In addition, Bioheat®
fuel oil cleanses heating systems.
