Refuel energy

By using biodiesel instead of petroleum diesel, you can decrease your contribution to greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 80 percent.

• Biodiesel also substantially reduces particulate emissions and PAH air toxins (including benzene) that are hazardous to human health.
• Biodiesel production and use exhibits a “closed-loop carbon cycle.” Unlike petro-diesel, which releases greenhouse gases contained (or sequestered) deep beneath the earth, the emissions released by using biodiesel are equivalent to the amount absorbed by the plant during its growth.

Better for People and the Planet

See how pure biodiesel (B100) and biodiesel blend (B20) compare to conventional petroleum diesel in keeping our air breathable:

Unburned Hydrocarbons	Diesel Baseline B20 80% B100 8% to 33%
Carbon Monoxide	Diesel Baseline B20 88% B100 35% to 52%
Particulate Matter	Diesel Baseline B20 88% B100 42% to 53%
Sulfates	Diesel Baseline B20 80% B100   0%
Ozone Potential of HC	Diesel Baseline B20 90% B100 50% or less
NOx*	Diesel Baseline B20 102% (96%)* B100 110%
