  2. What is biodiesel? Biodiesel is a fuel composed of mono-alkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the requirements of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM International) D6751.

  3. Part I. History of Biodiesel • 1900 - Rudolph Diesel debuted the first diesel engine running on peanut oil at the World’s Exhibition in Paris • 1920 and 1930s, despite widespread use of petro-diesel fuel, usage of vegetable oils as fuels was reported all over the world • 1937, a patent was issued on “Procedure for the transformation of vegetable oils for their uses as fuels” • 1977, first industrial process for production of biodiesel • 1987, pilot plant • 1989, first industrial-scale plant The use of vegetable oils as engine fuels may seem insignificant today but the such oils may become, in the course of time, as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time. -Rudolph Diesel, 1912 30-70-9000_19a00 Last update: 06-13-2019

  4. Part I. Biodiesel in US • AGF 81.8 million gallons from start up • Largest in NE • 100% used oil and animal fat (more environmental friendly, not competing with food, low cost) 30-70-9000_19a00 Last update: 06-13-2019

  8. Part 2. Benefits of biodiesel usage Intergration Biodiesel can be switched with petroleum diesel with little to no needed change to existing systems and infrastructure. • End users • Motor vehicle engines • Home heating furnaces • Infrastructure: • Storage • Transportation • Delivery i.e. Gas stations 30-70-9000_19a00 Last update: 06-13-2019
