Biodiesel - Supporting
America’s
Farmers B100 Biodiesel is a legally registered fuel and fuel additive with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA"). The USEPA registration includes all biodiesel meeting the ASTM International biodiesel specification, ASTM D 6751-03, which outlines specifications for B100 biodiesel for use as a blend component or substitute for standard diesel fuel. We buy and sell B100 Biodiesel and have plans to start producing and blending our own, "home-grown, clean, renewable, and American made" B100 Biodiesel, to help end our reliance on unstable, non-renewable, and "dirty" middle-east oil that pollutes our environment and causes inflated energy prices. B100 Biodiesel has numerous advantages to petroleum diesel - it's renewable, non-toxic, biodegradable, and produced by American and Canadian farmers. B100 Biodiesel is 100 % biodiesel fuel, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 78.3%, particulate matter by 55.4%, hydrocarbons by 56.3%, mutagenicity by 80-90% and sulfur by 100%. Our company invests in and builds new Biodiesel Refineries throughout the U.S., Canada, Central America and the Caribbean for our company and our investors. For individual farmers, we can design, engineer and build small-scale biodiesel refineries; i.e. 5,000 acres of canola will produce about 500,000 gallons of Biodiesel. We are a broker and importer of Crude Palm Oil and other energy oils, where we refine it into Biodiesel fuel for use in our cogeneration and trigeneration power plants. Additionally, we buy/sell/broker biofuels, including biodiesel which we can also blend through our partner companies facilities anywhere from a B2 to B99 Biodiesel blend. We buy/sell/broker ethanol and energy oils in the international markets. We provide Cooler, Cleaner, Greener Power & Energy Solutions™ and Renewable Energy Technologies project development services.

What is B2 Biodiesel? Pure biodiesel or B100 Biodiesel, is a non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable, carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, home-grown fuel that replaces petroleum diesel. When blended with equal parts of B100 biodiesel, creates B50 biodiesel, or 50% biodiesel and 50% petroleum diesel. Therefore, B2 Biodiesel, is comprised of a "blend" of 2% Biodiesel and 98% petroleum diesel. What is B5 Biodiesel? Pure biodiesel or B100 Biodiesel, is a non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable, carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, home-grown fuel that replaces petroleum diesel. When blended with equal parts of B100 biodiesel, creates B50 biodiesel, or 50% biodiesel and 50% petroleum diesel. Therefore, B5 Biodiesel, is comprised of a "blend" of 5% Biodiesel and 95% petroleum diesel. What is B10 Biodiesel? Pure biodiesel or B100 Biodiesel, is a non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable, carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, domestic fuel that when blended with 9 parts petroleum diesel to one part biodiesel creates B10 biodiesel, or 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel. What is B20 Biodiesel? B20 Biodiesel is one the most popular biodiesel blends presently available thoughout much of the U.S., Canada and Europe. Pure biodiesel or B100 Biodiesel, is a non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable, carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, domestic fuel that when mixed with four parts petroleum diesel to one part biodiesel creates B20 biodiesel, or 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel. What is B50 Biodiesel? Pure biodiesel or B100 Biodiesel, is a non-toxic,
biodegradable, renewable, carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, domestic petroleum
diesel when blended with equal parts of B100 biodiesel creates B50
biodiesel, or 50% biodiesel and 50% petroleum diesel. Pure biodiesel or B100 Biodiesel, is a non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable, carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, home-grown fuel that replaces petroleum diesel. When blended with equal parts of B100 biodiesel, creates B50 biodiesel, or 50% biodiesel and 50% petroleum diesel. Therefore, B95 Biodiesel, is comprised of a "blend" of 95% Biodiesel and 5% petroleum diesel. What is B99 Biodiesel? Pure biodiesel or B100 Biodiesel, is a non-toxic,
biodegradable, renewable, carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, home-grown fuel
that replaces petroleum diesel. When blended with equal parts of
B100 biodiesel, creates B50 biodiesel, or 50% biodiesel and 50% petroleum
diesel. Therefore, B99 Biodiesel, is comprised of a "blend" of
99% Biodiesel and 1% petroleum diesel. Pure biodiesel is referred to as B100 Biodiesel, which is a non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable, carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, domestically "grown" biofuel. B100 Biodiesel is refined from many American-grown fuel/energy crops such as soybeans, canola, rapeseed and even palm trees. Can B20 Biodiesel cause, or prevent problems for my diesel engine? This depends on the age of the car. Biodiesel is a solvent and
may affect some seals, gaskets, and adhesives, particularly those made before 1993 and those
made from natural or nitrile rubber. Most diesel engines manufactured
after 1994 have been constructed with gaskets and seals that are biodiesel resistant. Earlier engine
models or rebuilds may use older gasket and seal materials and present a risk of swelling,
leaking, or failure. Fuel pumps may contain rubber valves that may fail. B20 Biodiesel fuel is being widely used in various areas around the United States and Canada. Its production and distribution is expanding rapidly throughout the U.S. and Canada. Now that B20 Biodiesel has been gaining wide-spread
distribution and popularity, questions are being asked for which some of
the more common questions are answered below. Clean the Air We
Breathe! More specifically, the B20 Biodiesel fuel used in your diesel engine means you are
reducing the amount of harmful emissions from your car or truck into our air by the following amounts: Grow Your
Own "Green" BioDiesel At an average production rate of 130 gallons per acre, Canola or Rapeseed Oil ("BioDiesel") is one of the preferred energy crops in the U.S. and Europe. What is Canola Biodiesel? Canola biodiesel is an environmentally- friendly, renewable energy source that could also produce cost savings for taxpayers and private
businesses and is produced from farmers that grow canola. Initial research conducted by the University of Saskatchewan and the AAFC Saskatoon Research Centre has found that each ton of renewable biodiesel fuel saves five times its weight in diesel fuel. As well, engines using biodiesel demonstrate wear rates as much as 50% lower than those using regular commercial fuels – effectively doubling engine life. Canola is a very small seed, which means sowing depth must be controlled.
The current sowing practice is to cover the seed lightly with soil, which
provides more protection from drying out after germination. Generally speaking, an IV of less than about 25 is required if the neat oil is to be used in unmodified diesel engines and this severely limited the types of oil that can be used. The IV can be easily reduced by hydrogenation of the oil (reacting the oil with hydrogen), the hydrogen breaking the double bond and converting the fat or oil into a more saturated oil and reducing the tendency of the oil to polymerise. However this process also tends to increase the melting point of the oil and converts the oil into margarine. Only coconut oil has an IV low enough to be used without any special precautions in a unmodified diesel engine. However with a melting point of 25°C, the use of coconut oil in cooler areas would obviously lead to problems. Linseed oil could be mixed with petroleum diesel at a
ratio of up to 1:8 to give an equivalent IV in the mid-twenties. Likewise coconut oil can be thinned with diesel or kerosene to render it less viscous in cooler climates. Obviously
the solubility of the oil in petroleum also needs to be taken into account. Another method is
to emulsify the oil or fat with ethanol. Most vegetable oils are a mixture of different esters such as oleic acid (main constituent
of olive oil), ricinoleic acid (main constituent of castor oil), linoleic acid
(main constituents of linseed oil), palmitic acid (main constituent of palm kernel oil) and so on.
In an analogous way to that in which crude oil is refined to make a useable automotive
fuel, canola oil needs to be transesterified to make an automotive fuel that is useable in
unmodified diesel engines.
GWPs are calculated as the ratio of the radiative forcing
that would result from the emissions of one kilogram of a greenhouse gas to that from emission of one kilogram of carbon dioxide over a period of
time (usually 100 years). Gases involved in complex atmospheric chemical processes have not been assigned GWPs due to complications that arise.
What Are Greenhouse Gases?
Global Warming Potentials and Atmospheric Lifetimes (Years)
What are Nitrogen Oxides? Nitrogen oxides form when fuel is burned at high temperatures, as in a combustion process. The primary sources of NOx are motor vehicles, electric utilities, and other industrial, commercial, and residential sources that burn fuels.
Reasons for Concern
How can Nitrogen Oxides be Removed from the Environment?
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a proven and effective method to reduce nitrogen
oxides which is an air pollutant associated with the power generation
process. Nitrogen oxides are a contributor to ground level ozone. * Some of the above information from the Department of Energy website with permission. |
