Biodiesel Emissions Compared to Other Fuels
Fuel Types

In the table below, we give the emission characteristics of various fuels as compared to diesel. The numbers in the table reflect the percent difference for a vehicle traveling for a mile on that fuel as compared to a comparable vehicle traveling for a mile on diesel. The emissions are calculated using the Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET Model version 1.5a. This calculates the emissions of various gases for the entire fuel cycle. This includes the gathering of feedstock, fuel production, and tailpipe emissions. This type of complete analysis is often referred to as a well-to-wheel or fuel-cycle analysis.
