Biodiesel
From Farm to Fuel
Biodiesel is domestically produced. Biodiesel benefits American farmers, American businesses and the national economy. Job creation, new markets for domestic agricultural products and keeping our energy dollars domestic are just a few of the many economic benefits gained by using biodiesel instead of imported petroleum diesel.
Clean Energy
EGE’s biodiesel also contributes to the environment and your engine life. According to the US EPA, biodiesel reduces life-cycle CO2 emissions by more than 70%, while simultaneously providing better lubricity to engine components.
Regional Impact
We are capable of converting a variety of regionally grown oil seeds and waste oils into ASTM Grade Biodiesel Fuel. This, and the fact that we deliver biodiesel in the same areas we collect the waste oil in, helps us support our local economy by creating oil seed and waste oil demand.
