What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is a cleaner burning, renewable fuel for diesel engines made from crops (like canola or soybean) or from used cooking oil and other fats.  Biodiesel can be used in existing diesel engines with little or no mechanical modification.

Biodiesel has many benefits.  It is simple to use, biodegradable and nontoxic.  Biodiesel can be blended at any level with standard petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend.  Click here to learn more.

Our Goals:

Education
