It’s Easy Being Greener
expects to convert 2.3 billion pounds of chicken fat into biodiesel in 2008?) will run in any diesel engine, without any retrofitting and in any blend, without compromising the engine’s performance. For instance, you can fill your tank with B-100 (100% biodiesel), and if caught away from your biodiesel source, fill up with regular diesel. It won’t hurt your engine; it won’t impair your performance.
“Biodiesel may be the best-kept secret in the US.” Biodiesel has a significantly better emissions profile than diesel. The US Department of Energy has reported that biodiesel reduces carbon output by 78% compared to diesel fuel. In addition, biodiesel has much cleaner particulate emissions than diesel due to its organic (vegetable and animal oils) chemical make up (go to the National Biodiesel website to view their most recent test results: http://www.biodiesel.org/pdf_files/ fuelfactsheets/emissions.PDF). Springboard Biodiesel has seen a tremendous surge in interest in its small scale biodiesel processors. The economics are compelling, as are the environmental benefits. Our users can make a difference on a number of fronts - supporting a sustainable energy alternative, contributing to a lower personal and local carbon footprint, reducing the US’s annual $200 billion diesel outflow, and enjoy substantial savings doing so. Biodiesel is here to stay, and I encourage everyone to learn more about how to participate in the rapidly growing biodiesel economy. 72 Community Seeds . Fall 2008
The SPARE Solution is available today: Sustainable: Turns used vegetable oil into biodiesel fuel that runs in any diesel engine. – tested successfully by the DOT. Profitable: Using a Biodiesel Processor (Such as the Springboard Biodiesel BioPro), you can turn recycled vegetable oil into biodiesel for less than $1.15/gallon Alternative: Main ingredient is animal or vegetable oil that has already been used once –formerly a waste product Renewable: 3 billion gallons of vegetable oil was recycled last year in the US every year - animal-based oils are also viable and plentiful Environmental: 78% less carbon emitted, lower particulate matter, much cleaner emissions profile than diesel.
