Biodiesel Production Increased Dramatically

in Past 5 Years

Biodiesel is a renewable, alternate fuel currently used in many different sectors of the economy that utilize compression-ignition engines. Biodiesel production has risen dramatically in the past five years due to many factors and has been mandated to expand to 1 billion gallons by 2012 per the recent federal energy legislation.

B-100 quality is important for the industry to continue to grow as customers depend on the industry to produce quality fuel. For the biodiesel industry to expand, fuel quality as defined and set by the ASTM D6751 specifications must be met and demonstrated to the diesel community on a continual basis and new sources of feedstocks must be utilized.WT
