  2. A formal definition • Biodiesel – a diesel replacement fuel produced from vegetable fats or animal oils • Biodiesel Blend – a mixture of biodiesel and petroleum diesel • BXX = volume XX% biodiesel • B5, B20 blends are common

  3. Why use biodiesel? • Environmental Solution • Public Health Benefits • Optimal Engine Performance • Ease of Use • Economic Growth • National Security

  4. Biodiesel Emissions

  5. Biodiesel Emissions • Fewer cancer causing PAH compounds in exhaust • Lower amounts of particulate matter • Healthier in urban areas and school zones

  6. Energy Efficiency

  7. Engine Performance • No loss of power • High Flash Point- 260º F vs. Diesel 117º F • Higher Cetane rating than diesel

  8. Biodiesel Infrastructure • Integrates into current petroleum infrastructure: • Blending • Storage • Availability • Vehicles

  9. Considerations • Fuel Filters • Natural Rubber seals • Cold Weather • Cost • Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel

  10. Support our Farmers • Direct payment to farmers • Value added product • Supports rural economies • Protects farmland from development pressures

  11. Biodiesel Tax Incentives The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 • one cent per percentage agricultural biodiesel when blending with diesel fuel • one-half cent per percentage of recycled oil biodiesel when blending with diesel fuels

  12. ASTM D 6751 Fuel quality is critical for proper functioning Standards ensure satisfactory operation in diesel engines BQ 9000 Certification Certifies biodieselproducers and markers Feeling of confidence for: Biodiesel Producers Engine and Vehicle Manufacturers Distributors Consumers Biodiesel Quality Standard
