What is biodiesel?

• Biodiesel is a cleaner burning, domestic and
  renewable fuel that can be produced from virgin
  or recycled vegetable oil and animal fat.

Key attributes of biodiesel

• Renewable
• Or Liquid Sunshine as Larry Hagman calls it!
• Biodegradable
• Non-toxic
• Cleaner burning

Key attributes, contd

• Cleaner burning

Biodiesel is currently the only fuel which meets
the EPA Tier 1 Tier 2 Clean Air targets. B100
Biodiesel emissions vs. Petrodiesel No Sulfur
Dioxide emissions (ACID RAIN) 78 reduction in
CO2 emissions (GLOBAL WARMING) 48 reduction in
CO emissions (SMOG) 67 reduction in unburned
hydrocarbons (SMOG) 47 reduction in particulate
matter (SMOG) 80 reduction in PAH (polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons) (CANCER)

Positive energy balance

• Lifecycle energy balance is the ratio
• units of alternate fuel energy produced
• per unit of fossil energy used in production
• Soy Biodiesel 4.5
• Corn Ethanol 1.2
• Petrodiesel .8
• Used Vegetable Oil Biodiesel 7.8
• Biodiesel has the highest energy balance of any
  transportation fuel today

Energy Security

• Surging national, regional and local interest in
  energy independence
• 1.6 billion gallons of CTs 3.1 billion gallon
  annual petroleum demand is imported
• 1 billion gallons of these imports originate
  outside the Western hemisphere
