  1. BiofuelsGus KelloggGreenleaf Biofuels, LLC

  2. Greenleaf Biofuels, LLC Founded in September 2004 Distributing Biodiesel since January 2006 1st to make B100 retail deliveries in CT Significant experience storing, handling and using biodiesel and biodiesel blends Now forming Greenleaf Biofuels Processing, Inc. First biodiesel plant project: New Haven Company History

  3. Majority sold wholesale for bioheat On-road and retail sales increase in warmer months Fleet: Distribution Business

  4. New Haven Processing Plant

  5. Biodiesel is a cleaner burning, domestic and renewable fuel that can be produced from virgin or recycled vegetable oil and animal fat. Biodiesel, n—a fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the requirements of ASTM D 6751. What is biodiesel?

  6. Renewable Or “Liquid Sunshine” as Larry Hagman calls it! Biodegradable Non-toxic Cleaner burning Key attributes of biodiesel

  7. Key attributes, cont’d Cleaner burning Biodiesel is currently the only fuel which meets the EPA Tier 1 & Tier 2 Clean Air targets. B100 Biodiesel emissions vs. Petrodiesel: No Sulfur Dioxide emissions (ACID RAIN) 78% reduction in CO2 emissions (GLOBAL WARMING) 48% reduction in CO emissions (SMOG) 67% reduction in unburned hydrocarbons (SMOG) 47% reduction in particulate matter (SMOG) 80% reduction in PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) (CANCER)

  8. Lifecycle energy balance is the ratio: units of alternate fuel energy produced per unit of fossil energy used in production Soy Biodiesel: 4.5 Corn Ethanol: 1.2 Petrodiesel: .8 Used Vegetable Oil Biodiesel: 7.8 Biodiesel has the highest energy balance of any transportation fuel today Positive energy balance

  9. Surging national, regional and local interest in energy independence 1.6 billion gallons of CT’s 3.1 billion gallon annual petroleum demand is imported 1 billion gallons of these imports originate outside the Western hemisphere* 320 million gallons originate from the Persian Gulf region ($610M)* * Based on national average Energy Security

  10. Diesel engines On-highway Off-highway Marine Oil-burning furnaces Easily blends with petroleum products How is biodiesel used?

  11. •  Military -U.S. Coast Guard Academy •  State Fleets - Connecticut DOT: over 1 million gallons of B20 used since 2001 •  Municipal fleets - including New Haven, Cheshire, Glastonbury, Sharon, Salisbury, Oxford and Clinton •  Bus fleets - including Glastonbury Public Schools; University of Connecticut; Yale University and Clinton Public Schools Who is using biodiesel today?

  12. Rising concerns: Food vs. Fuel Population growth vs. finite resources Food prices track energy and material inputs Lifecycle CO2 emissions Low-tillage/no-tillage crops; increased yields Indirect land use science is in early development Sustainability Environmental Economic Social Good or Bad?

  13. There is much talk about economic development in Guilford this election cycle. Is it possible to attract new energy technology companies to Guilford? How do we do it? Economic Development
