Mission produces biodiesel, a clean alternative energy substitute for diesel, the world’s largest transportation fuel. The world is moving to biodiesel as a cleaner alternative to pure petroleum-based diesel, and this move is supported by international green legislation.

In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming, governments around the world have mandated the use of Biodiesel.  For example in the United States, a minimum of 1 billion gallons must be used every year until 2022.

When blended into diesel produced from petroleum, biodiesel can be used in most diesel engines today, and it is safer than pure petroleum-based biodiesel to store, handle, transport and use. It produces approximately 80% less carbon dioxide than pure petroleum-based biodiesel, and almost 100% less sulfur dioxide. Unlike pure petroleum-based biodiesel, it’s both non-toxic and biodegradable. When used as an additive in ultra-low-sulfur diesel, it improves lubricity.

Mission NewEnergy produces biodiesel that exceeds the quality levels industry standards in Europe the EN 14214. Mission NewEnergy is certified for ISO 9001:2008 and is the only biodiesel producer outside of Germany to have met the stringent requirements for the German AGQM (Arbeits Gemeinshaft fuer Qualitaets Management) certification.

Mission’s refineries are capable of producing biodiesel from multiple feedstocks.  While our Jatropha supply is ramping up we use palm oil that is fully certified by the ISCC as sustainable (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification System).

Once at sufficient quantities Mission intends to refine Jatropha Curcas, an inedible crop that grows in even the most arid, marginal lands.
