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
