How Can We Help?

You can help by using biodiesel and biodiesel blends instead of petroleum diesel in all your diesel engines. Diesel engines are the workhorses of the American economy. They power the 18 wheelers that crisscross our country delivering food and goods, are used in heavy duty trucks for hauling and construction, and are the engine of choice for fleets. Diesel engines drive generators that create electricity for emergency use, or in the entertainment industry when on location. Farm equipment, and any other hard working machinery uses the powerful, efficient diesel engine.

Last year America used over 63 billion gallons of petroleum diesel fuel alone, most of it imported and all of it non renewable, and toxic to our planet, our children and our health. Using biodiesel replaces a small amount of our total petroleum consumption, (over 1 trillion gallons annually), but it makes a significant contribution to our environment and oil independence. It can be easily and seamlessly incorporated, as diesel engines do not have to be modified to use it, and it uses the same infrastructure as petroleum diesel. Biodiesel does cost slightly more than petroleum diesel now, but its benefits far out weigh the added cost, and as biodiesel usage grows and more is produced, the cost will go down.

Join, or start a local coop to obtain biodiesel for individual use, request it from your gas station. If you work with diesel engines, you have an alternative diesel fuel available that will make your diesel engine more efficient, and is safer for you, your crew and the neighborhood in which you are located.

Planet Approved
In a world besieged by pollution, chemicals, and waste, now is the time to take the steps toward a greener planet. By using biodiesel, we lessen the pollution of our air and water systems, decrease global warming, and build our country's energy independence.

• Biodiesel provides sustainable energy. For every one unit of fossil fuel consumed to produce biodiesel, 3.2 units of energy are gained. In contrast, 1.2 units of fossil resources are used to produce one unit of petroleum diesel. This means every gallon of biodiesel has the potential to displace four gallons of imported petroleum.
• Biodiesel cleans engines.
• Compared to petroleum diesel, biodiesel (B100):
  • Reduces carbon dioxide emissions (global warming) by 78%.
  • Reduces carbon monoxide (smog) by 48%.
  • Reduces hydrocarbon (smog) by 67%.
  • Reduces particulate matter (soot) by 47%.
  • Reduces sulfur dioxide (acid rain) by nearly 100%.
  • Reduces PAH (suspected cancer causing) compounds by 80%.
  • Reduces all NPAH (suspected cancer causing) compounds by at least 90%
  
• Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have completed the rigorous health effects testing requirements of the US Clean Air Act.
