FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR HEALTH
Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning diesel replacement for use in engines and equipment that’s widely available, cost-effective and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 74% (Clean Fuels Alliance America).
Produced from a broad range of renewable resources, most often from U.S. grown soybeans, biodiesel is the first and only EPA-designated advanced biofuel in commercial-scale production across the country and can be used in diesel engines without modification. However, biodiesel is often overlooked as an avenue to achieve those goals.
In addition, the American Lung Association promotes the use of biodiesel through its Clean Air Choice™ program as transportation plays an important role in improving air quality and lung health.
Join us for a free webinar from The Center for Food Integrity (CFI) and United Soybean Board (USB), hosted by CFI’s Melanie Fitzpatrick, to learn more about how biodiesel can fuel food company sustainability efforts.
