What is Biodiesel?
A renewable fuel commercially refined from a diverse array of fats and oils by‐products & used in normal diesel engines
Biodiesel Defined
• Biodiesel, n. ‐‐ a fuel comprised of mono‐alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, meeting ASTM D 6751, designated B100.
• Biodiesel Blend, n. ‐‐ a blend of biodiesel fuel with petroleum‐based diesel fuel designated BXX, where XX is the volume percent of biodiesel.

Biodiesel: An “Advanced Biofuel”Available Now
205 EPA-Registered plants nationwide with over 3.08 Billion GPY Capacity
Biodiesel Infrastructure
• Biodiesel and biodiesel blends are now available nationwide from more than:
– 575 Distributors
– 850 Retailers
– 450 Truck Stops
– At least 1,875 Public Locations
• Visit the new NBB website at: www.biodiesel.org/using‐biodiesel/finding‐biodiesel/retail‐locations to view biodiesel retailers near you, by state, or along a route
Biodiesel in Pipelines
• B5 and lower blends are being transported on existing US pipelines that do not carry jet fuel. Volumes relatively small.
• B5 and lower blends are being transported in Europe on lines that carry jet fuel
– B100 level in jet fuel must be maintained <5 ppm
• Large project being executed to provide allowance of 100 ppm biodiesel in jet fuel
• This would enable biodiesel pipeline shipment on all U.S. pipelines—even those with jet fuel
Why Biodiesel?
Top 10 Reasons Why Smart Customers Are Using Biodiesel
12
#1 – America’s Advanced Biofuel
• Biodiesel is America’s first domestically produced, commercially available Advanced Biofuel and meets EPA requirements for inclusion and use under the new Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS‐2).
• RFS‐2 mandates 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel be used by obligated parties (i.e. refiners) by 2022
– 1 billion gallons biomass based diesel,
– 4 billion gallons un‐differentiated advanced biofuel
• 2011 Volume Requirement = 800 Million Gallons
• 2012 = 1 Billion Gallons
• 2013 = 1.28 Billion Gallons 13
RFS‐2 Advanced Biofuel
• EPA Definition 40 CFR 80.1401 ‐ Advanced Biofuel means renewable fuel, other than ethanol derived from cornstarch, that has lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions that are at least 50 percent less than baseline lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
• Feedstock pathway MUST be EPA approved
• Biodiesel is the ONLY U.S. domestic fuel available in commercial quantities that has been approved by the U.S. EPA as an “Advanced Biofuel”
• Advanced Biofuel: Lifecycle GHG Emissions Must Be At Least 50% Less Than Diesel Fuel ‐ EPA Approved Pathways:
• Vegetable Oils derived from Soybeans, Canola and Camelina;
• Waste Oils / Yellow Grease;
• Animal fats;
• DDG Corn Oil derived from the ethanol production process;
• Algae, and
• Secondary annual crops planted on existing cropland
RFS‐2 Approved Biodiesel Pathways
#2 – Lower Emissions
• U.S. biodiesel reduces lifecycle carbon emissions by 57% – 86% compared to petrodiesel, qualifying it as an Advanced Biofuel under RFS‐2 and making it the best carbon reduction tool of any liquid fuel commercially available.
– Biodiesel from Waste Oils, Waste Grease and Animal Fats
= 86% reduction in GHG Emissions
– Biodiesel from Soy based oils
= 57% reduction in GHG Emissions
16
#3 – High Energy Balance
• Biodiesel has the highest energy balance (5.54 : 1) of any commercially available fuel, returning 5.54 units of renewable energy for every 1 unit of fossil energy needed to produce it.
• Compression Ignition Platform (i.e. diesel engine system) is 30‐40% More Fuel Efficient Than Spark Ignition (i.e. gasoline, CNG, propane)
17
#4 – Sustainability
• Biodiesel is produced from a variety of renewable resources, such as plant oils, animal fats, recycled grease, and even algae, making it one of the most sustainable fuels on the planet.
• With biodiesel, you don’t sacrifice food for fuel. Oils and fats for biodiesel are a minor by‐product of producing food for humans and animals.– Soybeans are 80% protein, 20% oil– No one grows livestock for its fat content– No one cooks more fried food to get used oil for biodiesel
18
#5 – Energy Security
• Biodiesel production reduces our dependence on foreign oil from unstable parts of the world, while expanding and diversifying our domestic refinery capacity.
• Biodiesel is the most economical option for turning oils and fats into usable fuel diesel applications:
– Low capital cost for facilities
– Low processing costs
• 80% of product cost is from oil/fat
19
#6 – Better For Your Health
• Biodiesel is:
– Biodegradable
– Nontoxic:
• LD50 =17.4 g/Kg ‐ less toxic than table salt
• Skin irritation less than that of 4% soap and water solution
– Safer to handle: Flash point above 200 Degrees F, Non‐Reactive, Non‐Corrosive
• Compared to petrodiesel, biodiesel reduces black smoke (particulates), Carbon Monoxide, and harmful unburned hydrocarbons that cause smog.
#7 – Economic Benefits
• Biodiesel helps our U.S. economy and improves our balance of trade.
• Using biodiesel creates added outlets for farm based products and high paid manufacturing jobs in rural parts of our country.
• The 1.1 billion gallons of biodiesel produced in the U.S. in 2011 also supported over 39,000 U.S. jobs.
21
#8 – Ease of Use & Performance
• Using Biodiesel is easy!
• B20 and lower blends are a drop‐in replacement for diesel fuel; no vehicle modifications needed
• Can be used in any diesel engine / vehicle according to OEM’s recommendations
– www.biodiesel.org/using‐biodiesel/oem‐information/oem‐statement‐summary‐chart for OEM positions
• No trade‐offs in terms of engine performance, fuel economy, horsepower, torque – essentially the same as diesel
• Dispensed through existing fueling stations22
# 9 – ASTM Specifications & Technical Credibility
• Biodiesel production is guided by stringent ASTM fuel specifications, developed through years of testing.
• The biodiesel industry works closely with OEMs and Petroleum companies to identify needed technical information
• Continued investment to answer technical questions that arise is something that sets the biodiesel industry apart from other fuels
• The ASTM D6751 specifications continue to improve and evolve over time
– Especially as petrodiesel and engines change
23
Biodiesel Standards:
ASTM D6751 is the approved standard for B100 for blending up to B20, in effect since 2001
– Performance‐based standard: Feedstock and Process Neutral
D975 – Covers petrodiesel and blends up to 5% biodiesel maximum for on/off road engines; B5 is now fungible with diesel fuel
D396 – Covers heating oil and blends up to 5% biodiesel; B5 is now fungible with petro‐based heating oil
D7467 – Covers blends containing 6% to 20% biodiesel for on/off road engines
– Designed so that if B100 meets D6751 and petro diesel meets D975, then B6 to B20 blends will meet their specifications
– Important quality control is at B100 level
Additional Fuel Quality Controls
• States’ Adoption of ASTM D6751 into law
2011: 48 states (AK, NJ remain)
• Active Enforcement
2011:
– 36 states have authority to regulate fuel quality
– 20 states do proactive testing
#10 – BQ‐9000 & Fuel Quality
• The biodiesel industry has an excellent fuel quality program called BQ‐9000 (www.bq‐9000.org).
• Helps ensure that only the highest quality biodiesel meeting ASTM specifications gets put into your fuel tanks.
26
•Biodiesel Industry’s equivalent to an ISO 9000 program for biodiesel production & distribution companies as well as testing labs
•BQ‐9000 works hand‐in‐hand with the ASTM specifications for biodiesel
•Quality Control System covers biodiesel manufacturing, sampling, testing, blending, storage, shipping, distribution
•ASTM Grade Fuel, BQ‐9000 Companies
BQ‐9000 Program
• NBB implemented BQ‐9000 as a means to help instill confidence in biodiesel with users and equipment companies
• There are now three BQ‐9000 designations:
– Producer (make it to spec)
– Marketer (buy spec, keep it in spec, blend it right)
– Certified Laboratories (test it to ensure it is in spec)
• Many OEMs are now either requiring or strongly encouraging BQ‐9000
The latest numbers show that 81% of biodiesel produced is by BQ-9000 accredited companies.
• 44 Producers• 28 Marketer Terminals• 7 Laboratories

Biodiesel Performance,Use & Maintenance
49
Using Biodiesel:
Biodiesel Use and Handling Guidelines:• Ensure the biodiesel meets the ASTM specification for pure biodiesel
(ASTM D 6751) before blending with petro diesel. • Purchase biodiesel and biodiesel blends from companies that have
been registered under the BQ‐9000 fuel quality program when possible.
• Ensure your biodiesel blend supplier provides a homogenous product.
• Avoid long term storage of B20 and higher blends to prevent degradation. Biodiesel should be used within six months.
• Prior to transitioning to B20, it is recommended that tanks be cleaned and free from sediment and water. Check for water and drain regularly if needed. Monitor for microbial growth and treat with biocides as recommended by the biocide manufacturer.
50
Using Biodiesel:
• Biodiesel and biodiesel blends have excellent cleaning properties. Fuel filters on the vehicles and in the delivery system may need to be changed more frequently upon initial B20 use; after that, systemruns cleaner with no issues.
• Be aware of the biodiesel blend’s cold weather properties and take appropriate precautions. When operating in winter climates, use winter blended diesel fuel. Make sure the biodiesel blend cloud point is adequate for the geographical region and time of year the fuel will be used.– New biodiesel grade #1‐B ASTM specifications now available for winter‐blend
biodiesel fuel
• Perform regularly scheduled maintenance as dictated by the engine operation and maintenance manual.
51
Cold weather can cloud and even gel any diesel fuel, including biodiesel.
Users of a B20 with #2 diesel will usually experience an increase of the cold flow properties (cold filter plugging point, cloud point, pour point) approximately 2 to 10°Fahrenheit.
Similar precautions employed for petroleum diesel are needed for fueling with 20 percent blends.
• blending with #1 diesel / #1 biodiesel• using fuel heaters and parking indoors• and using a cold-flow improvement additive
Cold Weather Performance
B20 has been used successfully in climates below ‐20ºF
B20 vs. Diesel: In the shop
• With in‐spec B20 and lower, the issues you can expect to see in your shop are the same as you will see with petrodiesel
• Except:– Expect to see fewer lubricity related issues
– Expect to see fewer problems with after‐treatment
– Filter related issues may be related to cleaning effect upon first use, or are likely normal diesel issues or out of spec or imposter biodiesel
– Less black smoke from exhaust!
