Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel produced from domestic renewable resources, such as vegetable oils, animal
fats, and recycled cooking oil.
In the United States, it is usually made from soybean oil or recycled restaurant grease
and can be blended with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. Also used in diesel engines with little or no modifications,
biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics.
Biodiesel Performance
➢ Biodiesel is a renewable and sustainable resource
and avoids using the planet's dwindling resources.
➢ The use of biodiesel can reduce the
emission of carbon dioxide – the main gas responsible for global warming.
➢ It is virtually
sulphur free.
➢ Biodiesel is beneficial in environmentally sensitive applications, such as waterways,
due to the biodegradable nature of the fuel and low emissions.
➢ It is safer than mineral diesel
due to its high flash point.
➢ Improved engine performance/higher cetane level.
➢
Better fuel efficiency
➢ It has a natural lubricity. Lubricity can be lost with ultra
low sulphur mineral diesel as a consequence of the removal of sulphur, and an additive is required to replace it. Biodiesel’s
natural lubricity reduces or eliminates the need for this additive and delivers smoother running and increased engine life.
American Bio-Fuels choice technology allows for use of a variety of feedstock for the production
of Biodiesel. We use: - Peanut Oil
- Poultry
- Pork
- Tallow
- Soybean
Our
Biodiesel meets and exceeds ASTM D6751 - 08 Standard Specification for Biodiesel Fuel Blend Stock (B100) for Middle
Distillate Fuels (Certification upon request)
