Innovation Fuels biodiesel is made in the U.S. from renewable resources such as soybean and canola oil, which, decreases our dependence on foreign oil, contributes to local economies, and provides energy sustainability for the country.
Scientific research confirms that biodiesel exhaust is better for human health than petroleum diesel fuel.¹ Neat biodiesel emissions have:
- 75% less of most PAH and nPAH compounds, identified as cancer causing compounds.
- 47% less particulate matter, an emission linked to asthma and other respiratory diseases.
- 48% less carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas.
Every school day, some 440,000 yellow school buses transport more than 24 million children. The majority of school buses use conventional #2 diesel, which has health implications for everyone, especially children. The use of biodiesel can reduce that threat.
