Biodiesel Clean Diesel Powered by the Sun Don Scott Director of Sustainability National Biodiesel Board What is Biodiesel? A renewable substitute for diesel fuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils Who is the NationalThe National Biodiesel Biodiesel Board? Board Headquarters of the National Biodiesel Board Jefferson, City Missouri Who is the National Biodiesel Board? • Non-profit Trade Association for the US Biodiesel Industry • Coordinating body for Research, Tech Development, Policy • Founded in 1992 • Supports biodiesel from all sustainable feedstocks and a multitude of process technologies. Biodiesel: Advanced Biofuel, Here Now Nationwide Production Biodiesel is produced in every region of the country. Biodiesel Feedstocks (EPA Approved Advanced Biofuel) Soybean oil Corn oil from ethanol plants Canola Camelina Animal fats Recycled grease Waste grease Algae Common Nomenclature B5= 5% biodiesel in diesel fuel B20= 20% biodiesel in diesel fuel Biodiesel can be blended with diesel fuel in any ratio. There is no “blend wall” for biodiesel. Biodiesel defined by ASTM Specifications: . B5 and lower (ASTM D975) . B6 to B20 (ASTM D7467) . B100 (ASTM D 6751) Sustainability Benefits of Biodiesel • Increases Energy Security • Supporting Jobs and Economic Benefits • Commitment to Fuel Quality and Performance • Real Environmental Benefits 10 Environmental Benefits of Biodiesel • Cleaner, Safer Diesel Exhaust Emissions • Superior Energy Efficiency (captures solar energy) • Lifecycle Carbon Reduction • Nontoxic & Biodegradable • Reduces Wastewater & Hazardous Waste Production Emissions Reductions Emission Type B100 B20 Total Unburned Hydrocarbons -67% -20% Carbon Monoxide -48% -12% Particulate Matter -47% -12% Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons -80% -13% Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) +10% *0% Ozone Potential -50% -10% A Comprehensive Analysis of Biodiesel Impacts on Exhaust Emissions http://www.epa.gov/otaq/models/analysis/biodsl/p02001.pdf THE MARTEC GROUP CONFIDENTIAL New clean diesel engines have reduced NOx and PM emissions by more than 95% over the last 25 years.

Nature has pre-assembled long carbon chains. Annual crops concentrate energy in seed. Animals store energy in fat. Liquid fuels are energy-dense, easily transported, and easily stored. Oils release energy easily. Biodiesel stores solar energy. Plants recycle carbon from the air. Hydrocarbons (H, C, & O) do not mine nutrients (N, P, & K) from soil 21 Biodiesel GHG Studies DATE SOURCE GHG reduction 1998 USDA/NREL 78% 2008 DOE/Argonne 66-94% 2010 CARB 78% 2010 USEPA 85% 2010 DOE/Argonne 89-122% 2010 GHGenius 86% 2012 Univ. Idaho/USDA 81% GHG Reductions with Biodiesel Blends •A B20 blend reduces lifecycle GHG emissions of a diesel vehicle by 16%. •This compliments MPG, PM, and NOx improvements of new diesel vehicles. •A B5 blend reduces lifecycle GHGs by 4%. Better For Your Health • Biodiesel is: – Nontoxic: • LD50 =17.4 g/Kg - less toxic than table salt • Skin irritation less than that of 4% soap and water solution – Safer to handle: Flash point above 200 Degrees F, Non-Reactive, Non-Corrosive Biodiesel reduces impact to water resources Reduces wastewater by 79% Reduces hazardous waste by 96% Biodiesel, NOx, and California B20 no NOx increase in 49-state USEPA Diesel B20 no NOx increase in 2010 and later engines B5 no NOx increase in CARB diesel • Biodiesel use ramps up as NOx-neutral engines replace old technology. • Low blends in use today have no measurable NOx impact. • Potential future NOx will be mitigated by engine technology.
