extending domestic diesel fuel supplies;
|
||
|
reducing dependence on foreign crude oil supplies;
|
||
|
expanding markets for domestic and international agricultural products;
|

|
reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and other gases that are regulated by the EPA; and
|

|
being usable by existing diesel engines, while extending their useful lives.

|
diesel will become less toxic
and is considered to be clean diesel after compliance with the new low-sulfur requirements;
|
|
diesel is generally recognized as more fuel efficient than gasoline;
|
|
use of diesel engines in larger numbers of commercially successful automobiles; and
|
|
light vehicles that use clean diesel provide governmentally-owned fleets with an
option for increasing vehicle efficiency.
|
|
Biodiesel is made from renewable resources;
|
|
When burned, in comparison to petrodiesel, biodiesel results in a substantial
reduction of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter (with the
possible exception of nitrous oxide);
|
|
Biodiesel is biodegradable, nontoxic and not considered a hazardous material when spilled;
|
|
Biodiesel is essentially free of sulfur and aromatics;
|
|
The overall ozone (smog) forming potential of the hydrocarbon exhaust emissions from
biodiesel is nearly 50% less than that for petrodiesel fuel;
|
|
Biodiesel is registered as a fuel and fuel additive with the EPA and meets clean
diesel standards established by the California Air Resources Board. B100 biodiesel has
been designated as an alternative fuel by the DOE and the U.S. Department of
Transportation, or DOT;
|
4
|
Biodiesel is safer to manufacture and handle;
|
|
Because of its greater lubricity, biodiesel is used as a premium additive to
petrodiesel to improve engine performance and durability, to reduce wear on engines and
to extend their life. The addition of as little as 1% of biodiesel will significantly
increase the reduced lubricity of ULSD fuel;
|
|
Biodiesel can use domestic feedstock, reducing the $250 billion the United States
pays other countries each year for crude oil;
|
|
Primarily as a result of higher petroleum crude oil prices, increased petrodiesel
refining costs, increased agricultural productivity, improvements in biodiesel
processing technology and government subsidies, biodiesel has recently become less
expensive to produce biodiesel than petrodiesel; and
|
|
Public policy, both as enacted into law and as enunciated by governmental agencies
in the United States and elsewhere, favors the production and use of biodiesel fuel.

least one of our owned production plants equipped with STT®

site locations and negotiations for tolling fees and for the use of terminal
infrastructures;

identification of diesel blenders with facilities in proximity to the sites;

|
|
dramatically reduced biodiesel reactor residence time of less than one second,
compared to more than 30 minutes total reactor residence time required by conventional
systems;
|
|
more efficient transesterification process that produces negligible soap and
requires less downstream processing;
|
|
multi-feedstock flexibility that enables switching between alternative feedstocks in
a few hours rather than days for conventional production units;
|

lower-cost catalysts;

Clean School Bus USA reduces operating costs and childrens exposure to harmful diesel exhaust by limiting bus idling, implementing pollution reduction technology, improving route logistics and switching to biodiesel. The Energy Bill of 2005 utilizes this EPA program to grant up to a 50% cost share (depending on the age and emissions of original bus) to replace school buses with buses that operate on alternative fuels or low-sulfur diesel, or up to 100% for retrofit projects. | ||||
