Scalable. Practical. Renewable.

Green Earth Fuels, LLC produces biodiesel via its subsidiary, Green Earth Fuels of Houston, LLC (GEFH).

Fuel-grade biodiesel is produced from any fat- or plant-based oil to strict industry specifications (American Society for Testing and Materials/ASTM D6751) through a refinery process called transesterification. This established process combines natural feedstocks such as vegetable oils or animal fats with a short chain alcohol in the presence of a catalyst.

Raw vegetable oil cannot meet biodiesel fuel specifications, nor is it legally registered with the Environmental Protection Agency as a permissible motor fuel for sale and distribution.

GEFH's 90 million-gallon-per-year biodiesel production facility located on the Houston Ship Channel utilizes a flexible, hybrid-batch operating mode of reaction and employs the rigorous quality standards and processes necessary to exceed ASTM-D6751 biodiesel specifications.
