WHAT WE MAKE

ASTM D6751 is a standard specification for biodiesel fuel blend stock (B100) for middle distillate fuels. This specification outlines the requirements and test methods for pure biodiesel (B100) used as a blending component or as a fuel in diesel engines.

EN 14214 is a European standard that sets the specifications for biodiesel as a blend component in diesel fuel. The standard specifies the requirements and test methods for biodiesel used as a fuel in compression-ignition engines.

Our Certifications

BQ-9000

BQ-9000 is a voluntary quality program for the biodiesel industry. It was established by the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) in the United States to help ensure that biodiesel produced and marketed in North America meets high-quality standards.

ISCC EU Certified

ISCC EU has been fully recognised by the European Commission since 2011. With ISCC EU certification the compliance with the legal requirements for the sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings criteria for sustainable fuels and the production of electricity, heating and cooling from biomass set out in the renewed Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) for all Member States of the European Union can be verified.

Orthodox Union Certified
