PARTICIPATE IN CLEAN AIR USA

Clean Air USA actively supports the needs of consumers and retailers seeking for make biodiesel available at affordable prices throughout the nation.

Biodiesel is America's homegrown, clean air alternative to imported petroleum.

Biodiesel can be produced from domestic renewable resources including vegetable oils and recycled restaurant grease. Pure biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with no major modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulphur and aromatics.

Virgin vegetable oil used for the manufacture of biodiesel can be harvested from many oil feedstock plants like soybeans, sunflower seeds, rape seeds, palm oil and even some types of algae. Recycled vegetable oil from local restaurants and other used sources are also a useful reservoir of renewable fuel for diesel engines as approximately 4.5 billion gallons per year of used vegetable oil is available in the USA.

The concept of using vegetable oil as a fuel dates back to 1895 when Dr. Rudolf Diesel developed the first diesel engine to run on vegetable oil. He demonstrated his engine at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 and described an experiment using peanut oil as fuel in his engine.

The overall smog forming potential from biodiesel hydrocarbon emissions is nearly 50% less than that measured for ordinary diesel fuel.
