Background
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from vegetable oils and animal fats
Biodiesel is a clean-burning fuel for diesel engines
Designated B100 in its pure form
Must meet the quality requirements of ASTM D6751
What is biodiesel?
Biodiesel potential
Abundant Eco-friendly, Politically popular Government mandates
7.5 billion gallons by 2012 (~2%)
10% of fuel supply by
2020
5% of fuel supply by
2013
Numerous countries mandate biodiesel
