GC® B100 Distilled Biodiesel
GC® B100 Distilled Biodiesel is the purest and most consistent form of biodiesel fuel available. Distillation involves evaporating the desirable elements of biodiesel and leaving behind minor components that have a higher potential to clog filters. The fuel is then condensed back into its purest form, resulting in superior cold weather performance, the potential for lower carbon intensity scores and a biodiesel that blends easily with petroleum diesel.

| Feature | Benefit |
| Superior cold weather performance | Distillation allows the fuel to outperform undistilled biodiesel with a lower Cloud Point in cold weather. |
| Exceptional purity | More consistency and better blending. |
| Feedstock flexibility | Makes cost less susceptible to fluctuations in the commodity markets. |
| Lower carbon intensity (CI) score | Feedstock flexibility makes it easier to use raw materials that result in a biodiesel fuel with lower CI scores, which is better for the environment and is incentivized in some markets. |
- What is Biodiesel?
Biodiesel is the name given to a clean-burning alternative to diesel fuel. It is produced from a broad range of renewable resources including soybean oil, animal fats and recycled cooking grease. Biodiesel is the first and only EPA-designated advanced biofuel in commercial-scale production across the country and can be used in existing diesel engines without modification. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petroleum diesel in any proportions. - What is a biodiesel blend?
When biodiesel is blended with petroleum, it becomes a biodiesel blend. It is often labeled with the amount of biodiesel found in the fuel, B20 for example is a blend of 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel. - Is biodiesel a sustainable product?
Yes. Biodiesel is made from renewable by-products of food production and is the most diverse fuel in the world. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 86%, gives back energy to the environment and reduces smog to make our air healthier to breathe.
