Mission Statement


Springboard Biodiesel is a biodiesel solutions company that is leading the way in developing a vibrant, small-scale biodiesel production industry.

Springboard

We are focused on delivering the most innovative biodiesel products and technologies that enable local biodiesel production from the widest array of feedstocks. By allowing our customers to make biodiesel from multiple sources (virgin oil seed crops, animal oils and waste veg. oil), we help them minimize their costs and earn a compelling economic return for an environmentally beneficial fuel. In this way, our goal is to make biodiesel the preferred fuel, not just the alternative.

Research and Development


Springboard Biodiesel's R&D efforts are ongoing. The Company is poised to release a series of products to "close the loop" of their BioPro™ processor - pre-processing module | glycerin demethylator | raw biodiesel demethylator | methanol recovery/purification system. biodiesel processor

In addition, Springboard Biodiesel's engineers are hard at work finishing up our first ILP™, which will serve as the foundation of what we hope will become a nationwide network of small-scale, high FFA local production facilities. We have high hopes for our ILP, as it will create greencollar jobs, enable low cost biodiesel production and accelerate the success of biodiesel in general. We'll keep you posted!
