Biodiesel and renewable diesel come from a joint history but are ultimately two separate and distinct fuels with unique production processes. Our newest blog looks at how they are different: https://loom.ly/NxjAJPM #Biodiesel #RenewableDiesel #AlternativeFuels #BiobasedDiesel

What is the Difference Between Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel? - Illinois Alliance for Clean Transportation

Biodiesel and renewable diesel come from a joint history but are ultimately two separate and distinct fuels with unique production processes. Perhaps the most important difference is that biodiesel meets the ASTM D6751 standard, while renewable diesel meets the ASTM D975 standard for petroleum diesel fuel. Together, these fuels fall under a fuel category commonly referred to as bio-based diesel or biomass-based diesel.
