• Biodiesel is a clean‐burning, biodegradable and renewable fuel

• It is produced by reacting feedstock with short‐chain alcohols (methanol or ethanol) – Potential feedstock includes vegetable and seed oils, waste vegetable oil, animal fats, algae and sewage 

sludge

• Biodiesel can be used in pure form or be blended with petrodiesel and used in most modern injection pump diesel engines

– Blends of 20% biodiesel (B20) or less can be used in conventional diesel equipment with little or no modification 

• Use of biodiesel keeps engine performing better and cleaner– Provides increased lubricity over ultra‐low sulfur diesel which protects fuel systems and extends life– High cetane level leads to more complete combustion of fuel increasing engine responsiveness
