Soy biodiesel is a clean-burning, non-toxic renewable fuel made from soybean oil. Soy biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine without modification. Biodiesel fuel made from soybeans reduces greenhouse gases and particulate emissions and helps to lessen dependence on imported petroleum. Soy biodiesel is creating new opportunities for soybean producers across the country to market their energy crop.
The North Carolina Soybean Producers Association has a biodiesel communications and promotion program aimed at increasing distribution and use of soy biodiesel in North Carolina. The association applauds the farm community for embracing biodiesel on the farm. To find out if biodiesel is available in your area, call your local petroleum dealer and ask for soy biodiesel.
