Biodiesel

Biodiesel is an advanced biofuel that is renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. As a diesel substitute, biodiesel provides engine lubricity improvements while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our biodiesel is produced through a patented process known as transesterification, in which vegetable oils are heated with alcohol in the presence of a catalyst to yield mono-alkyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerin. Biodiesel feedstocks can be vegetable oils, rendered animal fats, algae oils as well as used cooking oils and greases.

ADM sustainably produces biodiesel from vegetable oils in the EU, Brazil, Canada and in the US. ADM products are fully compliant with all EU, South American and North American quality standards.
