Biodiesel has been extensively tested and verified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and many other researchers, both public and private. A summary of the benefits of biodiesel in reducing vehicle emissions follows:

Inside of school buses, for example, the use of biodiesel can reduce airborne particulates by 5 to 15 times that of petroleum diesel fuel. This particulate matter has shown to be a significant contributor to child respiratory problems.

Biodiesel as a renewable fuel is net energy positive. That is, each unit of finished fuel yields 3.2 times the energy required for its production. These yields can be increased even further through new, sustainable 3G technologies. 

Biodiesel is biodegradable and breaks down as easily as sugar. This minimizes any environmental impact in the event of mishandling, accidents, or spillage. It has also been proved to be 10 times less toxic than table salt.

Increased production and use of biodiesel also demonstrates America's commitment as a global custodian of our climate, reducing pollution and increasing quality of life, particularly in urban areas.
