Biodiesel compliant with EN 14124 has a flashpoint of over 110 °C and other properties which indicate a lower potential hazard. For this reason, it is not a hazardous material and its handling is not subject to the operational safety rules. This is a great advantage over mineral oil diesel in storage and handling.

Benefits of Biodiesel

Biodiesel is plant based and adds no CO2 to the atmosphere

• Sulphur dioxide emissions are eliminated (biodiesel contains no sulphur)
• biodiesel fuel burns up to 75% cleaner than conventional diesel fuel made from fossil fuels
• biodiesel substantially reduces unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter in exhaust fumes
• biodiesel can be mixed with ordinary diesel fuel in any proportion. Even a small amount of biodiesel means cleaner emissions and better engine lubrication: 1% biodiesel will increase lubricity by 65%
• biodiesel can be produced from any fat or vegetable oil, including waste cooking oil.
