Biodiesel

Biodiesel is the alternative fuel of choice in much of Europe, and its popularity is growing in Brazil, Canada, Argentina, Indonesia and the United States. 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.

ADM’s biodiesel products include Connediesel®, Connester® and crude and refined glycerin. Our Connediesel brand is a high-quality biodiesel that complies with EU standards. Our canola methyl esters also are fully compliant with EU and North American standards.
