Sunshine Renewable Diesel vs Biodiesel

Sunshine Renewable diesel is similar to Biodiesel. it is made from plant oils and therefore not a hazardous material but it is processed through distillation rather than chemical conversion making it a Renewable Diesel. For big bore low and medium speed Diesel’s or turbines found in locomotives, ships, or fuel oil burners it is the best “drop in” Ultra Low Sulfur Biofuel available. It has twice the lubricity of Petro-Diesel, higher Cetane and the same energy content per gallon. It is also the most cost effective Biofuel for commercial transportation with higher speed diesel engines found in tucks, buses, boats, and small frame generators. For these engines a simple EPA approved patented Alternative Fuel Conversion System is required which can be provided at no or low cost to a equipment owner by Sunshine Biofules.

Biodiesel is made by chemical transesterification which involves expensive petrochemicals like Methanol that make up about 18% of its volume. This process lowers the total energy per gallon by 5-7% compared to diesel and increases the market price per gallon of Biodiesel accordingly. Sunshine Renewable Diesel uses distillation rather than chemicals like methanol to process our product so it is significantly less expensive to produce and provides similar benefits. Read More
