Definition

A fuel made from vegetable oils (for example: soybean or canola), animal fats, and/or recycled grease, and intended for use in diesel engines.

Description

For U.S. Energy Information Administration reporting, biodiesel is a fuel composed of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, and meeting the requirements of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D6751. Biodiesel is registered with the EPA as both a fuel and a fuel additive. Its designation as B100 indicates it is unblended (100 percent) biodiesel. It can serve as a substitute for petroleum-derived diesel or distillate fuel. Biodiesel Blend is a fuel that combines pure biodiesel stock with petroleum-based diesel.
