Fuelling our cars, buses and lorries is the most common use for biodiesel, but its use for other purposes is catching on.

Like mineral diesel, our biodiesel is also used in various heating applications. And it can be used to generate electricity.

Biodiesel for Heating

More and more eco-conscious businesses are turning to this renewable, clean-burning fuel to power boilers in offices, factories and schools. It works beautifully as a replacement for traditional heating oil and is much more environmentally friendly.

Economically it can be attractive too. There is no fuel duty payable on biodiesel used in heating. There are also specific government incentives to encourage biodiesel use in some heating applications - notably the Renewable Heat Incentive due to be implemented in 2011.

Biodiesel for Power Generation

Electricity generating companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint are turning to Argent’s biodiesel. To support this, biodiesel used for the generation of electricity will earn Renewable Energy Certificates (ROCs) from April 2011.
