Waterfront Petroleum Terminal - Biodiesel Information

Our Future: Biodiesel

At Warner Petroleum, we are dedicated to reducing environmental impact. Our biodiesel program ensures sustainable fuel options without compromising on quality or performance.

We aim to transform the maritime industry by integrating eco-friendly solutions, emphasizing fuel efficiency, and lowering emissions across our fleet.

By sourcing feedstock that’s crushed in Michigan and processed in Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois, we remain dedicated to using local resources for biodiesel production, completely independent of foreign materials.

Through these efforts, we’re helping protect our local environment, reduce emissions, and create economic opportunities in our communities. We believe biodiesel is the future of fuel.

What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is a cleaner-burning, renewable fuel that reduces emissions and requires no engine modifications. It’s a practical, eco-friendly alternative to petroleum diesel.

Eco-Friendly

Significantly reduces carbon emissions and minimizes environmental impact. By using less fossil-fuel-based oil, we help cut down on pollution and work towards a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations.

Efficient

Offers exceptional fuel efficiency and dependable performance as a sustainable alternative. It can also be blended with traditional fuels to create biodiesel hybrids, maintaining high efficiency while further reducing environmental impact.

Economically Viable

Biodiesel supports local economies by creating jobs in agriculture, manufacturing, and distribution. By sourcing feedstock locally, we reduce dependency on imported fuels, creating a more stable and resilient economy.

Supporting Local Communities with Biodiesel

Biodiesel is not just a fuel; it’s a way to support local farmers and reduce dependence on imported oil. By investing in biodiesel, we’re strengthening local economies, creating jobs, and promoting sustainability in every community we serve.

Biodiesel Blends

Biodiesel is commonly blended with petroleum diesel to fuel vehicles and equipment, with B20 being one of the most widely adopted blends. In B20, 20% of the fuel is biodiesel, and 80% is petroleum diesel, offering an immediate 15% reduction in carbon emissions without any modifications to the vehicle.
