What is Biodiesel?
• An alternative fuel that can be used in neat
(pure) form, or blended with petroleum #2
oil for use in diesel engines, on & off road,
home heating oil.
General Definitions
• Biodiesel is a domestic, renewable fuel for diesel
engines or heating oil derived from natural oils
such as soybean oil.
• Biodiesel can be used in any concentration with
petroleum-based diesel fuel
• existing diesel engines or heating systems with
little or no modification.
General Definitions
• Biodiesel is not raw vegetable oil.
• Biodiesel must be produced by a chemical
process that removes glycerin from the oil.
• Biodiesel blend, a blend of biodiesel fuel
meeting ASTM D 6751.06a with petroleumbased diesel fuel designated BXX, where
XX is the volume percent of biodiesel.
Project Drivers
The primary factors driving Biodiesel include:
Energy Independence
Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT)
Biodiesel Mixture Credit – Through 2008
USDA Commodity Credit Corporation Incentive – Through 2006
Heating Oil markets
Renewable Fuel Standards
Enhanced Lubricity & Conductivity Improver
Premium Diesel Market Grows as Consumers Demand More From the Fuel They Use
2006 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Issues
Environmental Benefits
CO2 Reductions
Less Toxic and More Biodegradable
Emissions Reductions
Biodiesel Market Potential
1.65 Billion Gallons in Mid-Atlantic Region
High Petroleum Transportation and Heating Oil Fuel Costs
Environmental Benefits
• The first and only alternative fuel to have a
complete evaluation of emission results and
potential health effects.
• The most stringent emissions testing
protocols ever.
Biodiesel Toxicity and Safety
• Only alternative fuel to have complete Tier I
and Tier II testing.
• Toxicity is 1/10 that of table salt.
• Dermal irritation less than 4% soap & water.
• Aquatic toxicity >1000mg/l (“Insignificant”)
• ~85% biodegradation in 28 days.
Emission Testing Results
Environmental Benefits
• Can be used in any diesel engine or heating
system
• Blending ratio’s from 2 to 100%
• Improves fuel lubricity
• Significantly improves air quality, is
biodegradable and is less toxic than table
salt
