Renewable Fuels
Biodiesel * Ethanol * E85 * E10 * Renewable Diesel
Atlas Oil Company continues to be an industry leader in environmentally friendly fuels.
Biodiesel and ethanol are clean burning, alternative fuels produced from renewable sources which include corn, soybeans, rapeseed, animal fat and other plant oils. It is versatile, biodegradable, nontoxic and extremely compatible with all distillate products. Biodiesel is better for people, the environment and the economy and is just one of the ways we are working to help ensure the world is a better place for future generations.
Biodiesel in its raw form is also known as B100. Blends of biodiesel range from a B2 (2% Biodiesel and 98% petroleum diesel) to a B99.
These renewable fuels help reduce our dependence on foreign oil as well as benefit our United States agriculture and economics.
