Springboard Eliminates over 40 million pounds of CO2 In 2008

Springboard Biodiesel is committed to helping build an alternative energy infrastructure that ultimately replaces petroleum with sustainable, renewable, alternative energy sources that help protect our environment. It is well known that Biodiesel has a significantly beneficial emissions profile in comparison to diesel fuel. Multiple studies suggest that for every gallon of biodiesel burned, 13.0 pounds of CO2 are kept OUT of the atmosphere. Given this compelling fact, we are proud to announce that in 2008, our customers installed approximately 43MM pounds of CO2 abatement capacity; thereby doing their part to help build a future alternative energy infrastructure that is good for the planet and good for them!
