OEMs take engine testing seriously, and they agree that biodiesel has positive effects on engines. Here are a few examples:
- Cetane — Higher Cetane equals a shorter ignition time and better performance.
- Lubricity — Adding as little as 2% biodiesel — a B2 blend — can double the amount of lubricity in the fuel.
- Drop-in fuel — Biodiesel blends don’t require any vehicle or infrastructure upgrades.
- Lower carbon intensity — This is important for fleets with sustainability goals or that operate in jurisdictions with carbon-reduction policies.
Based on these facts … it may be time to rethink biodiesel.
