Introduction of Biodiesel Fuel

By incorporating environmental considerations into the fuel used for vehicles that deliver our environmentally friendly product AdBlue®, we strive to promote our SDG-related initiatives on a continual basis.
■What is Biodiesel Fuel (BDF)?
Biodiesel fuel is an environmentally friendly energy source produced from plant-derived waste cooking oil, and can be used as an alternative to diesel and heavy oil. Since plant-derived cooking oils originate from plants that absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere during their growth, CO₂ emissions associated with the use of biodiesel fuel (BDF) produced from such plant-derived waste oils are not counted.
The fuel type we use is conventional diesel blended with 5% biodiesel fuel (BDF), enabling us to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 5%.
It complies with the mandatory diesel fuel standards under the Act on the Quality Control of Gasoline and Other Fuels*2, and can be used in the same manner as conventional diesel fuel.
＊2…The Act on the Quality Control of Gasoline and Other Fuels establishes quality standards and labeling requirements for fuels such as gasoline and diesel, with the aim of preventing the distribution of non-compliant fuels.
