Biodiesel may be the home grown fuel to finally quench America’s 20 million barrel a day thirst for oil. Made from vegetable oil and animal fat, biodiesel is an alternative fuel on the rise with production reaching 200 million gallons in 2006.

SunBio Systems manufactures biodiesel machines that produce up to 15 million gallons of fuel a year and will be showcasing one of its machines at the National Biodiesel Conference & Expo, February 4-7 at the Henry B. Gonzalez convention center in San, Antonio, Texas. SunBio will display the first “Plug and Play” modular biodiesel system in the US. At 15ft high by 28ft long and 14ft deep it will be on display in a tent across from the convention center at Sunset Station.

“Plug and Play” means it connects onsite something like Legos® in 3 to 5 days and boasts a highly advanced computer controlled automation system, making set up easy and worry free. The company will exhibit at booth numbers 17 and 18 inside the convention center.

“Increased biodiesel fuel production is a win-win for everybody. It reduces America’s dependence on foreign oil, expands agricultural opportunities for farmers and reduces harmful emissions in the environment,” said Steve Austin, president, SunBio Systems. “Biodiesel is a clean air fuel that gives back 3.2 units of energy for every unit of energy it takes — making it more efficient than ethanol. SunBio Systems will continue to bring innovation to our biodiesel machines to help America bolster its alternative fuel options and gain greater autonomy over its energy supply,” added Austin.
