Buffalo Biodiesel Inc.
225 Sawyer Ave, Tonawanda, New York, United States

Buffalo Biodiesel Inc. is a locally owned and operated company. We sell Biodiesel and yellow grease for the production of biodiesel to companies in the USA and abroad. We got into this business for four main reasons.

• The Economy - Biodiesel supports the American economy but specifically it supports the local economy. We work, live and employ people in Erie and Niagara country. 
• Recycling - We want to do something about the waste oil being produced. Its a messy job but we can keep this stuff out of land fills and ANIMAL FEED. If you are what you eat, you can see the chain. Its a lot easier to make biodiesel from virgin oils but it drives up the price of food globally, which is something that we do not want to support.
• The Environment - Biodiesel is clearly the better fuel for the environment. Its approved by the EPA as the only real alternative "diesel" fuel and its chemical emissions are so much lower than Regular # 2 diesel (except NOX). The big seller for me is actually being able to take a wiff of our exhaust and not gagging.
• The Product - Basically we found that Biodiesel, for its smell, power, lubricity, environmental benefit and COST- is the better way to go. Its really great stuff and we love it!

Biodiesel

Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel produced from domestic, renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It can be d. It can be used in compression ignition (diesel) engines with no major modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics.

Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have fully completed the health effects testing requirements of the Clean Air Act. The use of biodiesel in a conventional diesel engine results in a substantial reduction of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter compared to emissions from diesel fuel. In addition, the exhaust emissions of sulfur oxides and sulfates (major components of acid rain) from biodiesel are essentially eliminated compared to diesel. Of the major exhaust pollutants, both unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides are ozone or smog forming precursors.  The use of biodiesel results in a substantial reduction of unburned hydrocarbons. Emissions of nitrogen oxides are either slightly reduced or slightly increased depending on the duty cycle of the engine and testing methods used. Based on engine testing, using the most stringent emissions testing protocol required by EPA for certification of fuels or fuel additives in the U.S., the overall ozone (smog) forming potential of the hydrocarbon exhaust emissions from biodiesel is nearly 50 percent less than that measured for diesel fuel.

Seven facts you need to know about biodiesel.

• Commercial biodiesel is refined according to exacting, standard specifications set by the ASTM-the same organization that sets the standards for petroleum diesel.
• Biodiesel will run in ANY diesel engine.
• Biodiesel can be stored in existing diesel fuel storage tanks. Your entire existing diesel refueling infrastructure, including pumps and tanks, is 100% ready for biodiesel.
• Biodiesel can be used neat (B100, or 100% biodiesel) or mixed at any ratio with #2 diesel fuel and other diesel additives.
• Biodiesel is made in the USA from renewable resources, reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
• Biodiesel is cleaner than petroleum diesel. Biodiesel use substantially reduces emissions of criteria pollutants and essentially eliminates sulfur dioxides and sulfates emissions.
• Biodiesel decreases lifecycle emissions of CO2-the most dangerous greenhouse gas-by 78% when compared to petroleum diesel fuel.
