Why change to Biogold™?
Switching to more sustainable fuel options has become more important in recent times as our awareness of the impacts of global fossil fuel use grows. The biodiesel component of Biogold™ is made from used cooking oil and oilseed rape grown specifically for Biogold™ production, making Biogold™ a great renewable fuel source.
For every tonne of used cooking oil provided to make Biogold™, New Zealand’s CO2 emissions are reduced by at least two tonnes when compared to using mineral diesel. It also helps clear the air, reducing particulate emissions by up to 50%.
Other Biogold™ advantages
- less hazardous exhaust emissions, including a significant reduction in the visible smoke when high-blend proportions of Biogold™ are used
- over all, less noisy engines
- improved fuel lubricity, providing added protection to fuel‑injection components
- less hazardous to the environment in the event of a spill because Biogold™ NZ100 (100% biodiesel) is non-hazardous and degrades faster
- for the same reason, biodiesel is a much safer and simpler fuel to store and handle.
It’s easy to change
For most applications, you simply carry out a few checks and fill up the fuel tank with Biogold™. Biogold™ mixes well with ordinary diesel and other biodiesels, so switching to Biogold™ can be done at any time.
