New Additives Make Biodiesel Cleanest Fuel

The California Air Resource Board has certified a biodiesel additive that has been tested and proven as the cleanest fuel with the lowest emission in the U.S. The additive will be used along with California’s CARB diesel formulation and will reduce every measurable regulated emission for the new B20 blend that will be branded VESTA 1000.

“Biodiesel has been a key to help California meet its intense carbon reduction goals. With this announcement, America’s Advanced Biofuel will continue to deliver a cleaner burning, American made alternative under the state’s low carbon fuel standard,” said Donnell Rehagen, National Biodiesel Board CEO. “Biodiesel will gladly take the role as the cleanest certified diesel fuel available.”

VESTA 1000 will ensure compliance with the January 1, 2018 implementation of CARB’s Alternative Diesel Fuel Regulation by reducing NOx by 1.9 percent and particulate matter by 18 percent compared to CARB diesel fuel.
