Arlington Energy’s newest alternative energy manufacturing facility, in Mansfield, Ohio, will produce 10 million gallons of biodiesel annually.
Biodiesel blends operate in diesel engines just like petroleum diesel. B20 works in any diesel engine, usually with no modifications to the engine or the fuel system. B20 also provides similar horsepower, torque, and mileage as diesel.
Diesel engines are about 30 percent more efficient than gasoline engines. This means that a diesel engine of the same displacement will produce about 30 percent more horsepower or give 30 percent better fuel economy (or 30 percent less carbon dioxide emissions). Today’s diesel engines are quieter, cleaner burning and more responsive than earlier diesels. |
