OUR FUTURE

Since the mid 1970s, fuel shortages revived interest in developing biodiesel as an alternative to petroleum diesel. However, as the petroleum market was increasingly subsidized, biodiesel was again relegated to a minority “alternative” status. This political and economic struggle continues to limit the impact of the biodiesel industry today.This is the reason why BFS has taken a greater step forward with the production of the world most effecient renewable fuel.

BFS increasing concerns about the potential of global climate change, declining air and water quality, and serious human health concerns are inspiring the development of biodiesel, as a renewable, cleaner burning diesel alternative. Biodiesel is made from recycled vegetable oil and various feedstock (i.e.- soy beans)and from bio-mass. As part of an active carbon cycle biodiesel feedstock production reduces the buildup of greenhouse gases, and in turn, global warming.

Many fleet operators have made the switch to biodiesel, yet biodiesel consumption accounts for less than 15 percent of the total diesel fuel consumption iaround the World. Additional industries seeking cleaner alternatives to sulfur-emitting diesel are transit bus fleets, heavy-duty truck fleets, airport shuttles, marine and national park boats and vehicles, mining, the military and many more.

BFS has capitalised on this by producing a clean renewable fuel for the future.

Biodiesel has continued to develop and evolve over the decades. In the United States, biodiesel is now commercially available in most oilseed-producing states. Biodiesel boasts many benefits over petrodiesel, but has traditionally cost more to produce (due to low volume production levels and lengthy, expensive production techniques).

A wide variety of biolipids can be used to produce biodiesel, including virgin oil feedstock (most commonly rapeseed and soybean oils), waste vegetable oil, animal fats (tallow, lard, yellow grease, fish oil, etc.), and even algae. The renewable nature of these biodiesel sources makes it a very appealing and environmentally friendly fuel alternative.
