The Benefits of Biodiesel: Illinois Soybean Association
Biodiesel offers numerous mechanical, economic, and environmental benefits, and is currently being utilized in several large fleets in Illinois.
Video facts include:
-Biodiesel can be blended with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend (B2, B10, B20, B100).
-Biodiesel blends can be used in diesel engines with little or no modifications.
-Biodiesel adds lubricity and has the highest energy balance of any alternative fuel.
-Vehicle power and performance remain virtually unchanged.
-Biodiesel is made from new and used soybean oil and other by-products, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 78% when compared with diesel, helping to protect human health, the environment, and our economy.
