Biodiesel Information

AAA BioFuel LLC, provides for the biodiesel industry and oil farming in all aspects of services, products, and strategies. We offer biodiesel and vegetable oil financing, development, production, blending, plant operation, marketing and consulting.

Summary:

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and Bush’s previous Energy Bill, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, required 7.5 billion gallons of renewable fuel use by 2012. The global market for biodiesel is poised for explosive growth in the next ten years. Although Europe currently represents 80% of global biodiesel consumption and production, the U.S. is now ramping up production at a faster rate than Europe, and Brazil is expected to surpass U.S. and European biodiesel production by the year 2015.

Government Subsidies:

Congress has put in place a number of tax incentive programs that positively impact the biodiesel industry. The United States Government offers incentives and tax rebates for biodiesel startup and operational costs. US Production only surpassed one million gallons a year in 2000; by 2007 it had reached 150 million gallons. Current U.S. law sets a requirement of 7.5 billion gallons of renewable fuel use in the country by 2012, but proposed legislation would boost that to 36 billion gallons per year by 2022.

B20 Biodiesel Facts
B20 is a blend of 20% biodiesel and 80% diesel fuel, which:

  Current diesel engines require NO modifications for B20 biodiesel
  Provides optimum emission benefits for the lowest costs
  Keeps Nitrogen oxide increases small (1-4%) within legal emission
      limits for engines
  Offers excellent emissions benefits by reducing soot, particulates,
       hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide by more
       than  10% each
  Minimal increases in cloud and pour point levels can be easily
      managed by additives
  Does not contribute to sulfur dioxide emissions
