Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel market. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most recent technology advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE supplies guidance and options to companies and communities in their endeavors to develop new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and expertise BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has acquired a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, enabling the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the process constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely versatile and more efficient procedure. The procedure also permits a reduction in capital cost of up to 40% and a reduction in operating cost through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have been validated through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has been extensively tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have been shown, both individually along with blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our worldwide growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center located beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This center exhibits the innovative technology of BNE and production procedure that made use of numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.

BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure professional will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
