New online tools to help petroleum industry grow with biodiesel

BY The National Biodiesel Board
Professionals in the petroleum supply chain will now have all the biodiesel information they need to grow their business at their fingertips, thanks to two new tools developed by the National Biodiesel Board. They are a new online portal called “Biodiesel-e2e,” short for “end-to-end,” and a revamped Biodiesel Education Network Newsletter.
Each of these digital information tools will simply and effectively communicate everything petroleum professionals need to successfully integrate biodiesel and make it a profitable part of their business. They are also designed to help biodiesel producers work more effectively with petroleum supply chain participants.
The Biodiesel-e2e online information portal is the one-stop online tool to access information on biodiesel handling and distribution. The engaging interface makes it easy to navigate for all levels of the supply chain and includes:

In addition, NBB has revitalized the Biodiesel Education Network (BEN) Newsletter. The new BEN Newsletter is the online publication for up-to-date biodiesel industry news and information relevant to petroleum distributors. The quarterly publication augments “Ask BEN,” the online biodiesel and Bioheat question-and-answer interface. The newsletter highlights timely and relevant biodiesel industry topics, including technical, legislative, production, markets and more. Conveniently packaged as an interactive PDF file within an email, readers can view it on a desktop, tablet or phone, or print it for offline reading.
Industry professionals can sign up to access the BEN Newsletter at www.askben.info.
“The petroleum industry needs biodiesel information that’s easy to access to help break down any remaining barriers to bringing biodiesel to market,” said Paul Nazzaro, petroleum liaison for NBB, who led the effort. “These digital assets create the perfect sources to find everything the industry needs to know to keep moving forward.”
