Biodiesel is the first commercially available fuel to meet the EPA’s definition of an advanced biofuel. These requirements protect forests and native grasslands and ensure renewable fuels have multiple environmental benefits over fossil fuels.

Benefits when compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel:

• Reduces lifecycle greenhouse gases by an average of 74 percent
• Reduces hydrocarbon emissions by 67 percent
• For every unit of fossil energy, it takes to produce biodiesel, 4.56 units of renewable energy are returned, the best of any U.S. fuel
