Clean Fuels Alliance America is proud to announce the launch of the newly redesigned BQ-9000 website, delivering a streamlined and user-friendly experience that better showcases the value of biodiesel quality assurance and the benefits of certification through the industry’s gold standard program.
Administered by the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission and supported by Clean Fuels, the BQ-9000 program combines ASTM fuel standards with best practices for production, storage, handling, and distribution. The revamped website offers easy access to accreditation status for biodiesel producers, marketers, and laboratories, helping fuel buyers and fleets make informed, confident choices.
“In today’s competitive energy environment, trust and performance are everything,” said Scott Fenwick, technical director at Clean Fuels. “BQ-9000 accreditation is more than a label—it’s a mark of quality that leading engine manufacturers, fleets and fuel suppliers depend on.”

With biodiesel playing a growing role in reducing emissions across on-road, off-road, marine, rail, and heating oil applications, the importance of fuel quality has never been greater. BQ-9000-accredited companies consistently outperform baseline industry quality standards, according to annual surveys conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
“BQ-9000 fuels confidence—literally,” said Fenwick. “Whether you’re operating a fleet, selling biodiesel, or managing equipment performance, this program helps ensure the fuel you rely on is clean, reliable, and ready to perform.”
To explore the new website and verify accreditation status, visit www.BQ-9000.org. For questions regarding any BQ-9000 suppliers or certificates, please inquire at sfenwick@cleanfuels.org.
