  2. Biodiesel A cleaner-burning, renewable, and domestically produced diesel fuel • Biodiesel can be made from various oils: canola, mustard, soybean, corn, and even waste grease • Biodiesel is primarily sold as B20 • U.S. Congress designated B20 as an approved alternative fuel in 1998 • KNOW YOUR SOURCE • 2012 = .003% of U.S. Petroleum Bbls • 24 Million bbls/yr. U.S. biodiesel production

  3. Blue Sun Mission • Highest Performance Fuel • Cleaner & Healthier Air • Rural Economic Development • Energy Independence

  4. Vertically Integrated Model Feedstock Processing Marketing
