Fleets across Indiana rely on biodiesel, a high-performance and cleaner-burning fuel that’s made from soybeans and other renewable feedstocks produced in Indiana. Biodiesel is an easy-to-use and economical fuel option that improves air quality by reducing particulate matter and other harmful vehicle emissions. It’s the most straightforward way to lower global warming CO2 emissions in existing diesel equipment.
B100, or 100 percent biodiesel, is typically blended with petroleum diesel to create blends ranging from 5 percent up to 50 percent and higher. B20 is a blend of 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent diesel fuel.
