POP Diesel's sale of pure jatropha plant oil diesel engine fuel and its patented and proven, enabling, dual-tank Fuel System met with EPA's first-of-their-kind approval in 2013. Since then, the Company has been developing a supply of pure jatropha plant oil in tropical countries to introduce to the fuel market for mobile, compression ignition engines.

POP Diesel will replicate its New Mexico state-certified, prototype Filling Station to establish the first nationwide network of Pure Plant Power™ Filling Stations selling truck fleets this POP Diesel Fuel.

In 2006 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, POP Diesel opened the first state-permitted fuel processing plant and filling station for cleaned, 100% waste vegetable oil in the United States. Since 2006, POP Diesel has retrofitted more than 30 different kinds of diesel engines with its patented, auxiliary Fuel System. Click here for a description of the POP Diesel Fuel System.

The advantages of relying on a source of pure plant oil like jatropha, versus waste vegetable oil, are that it offers consistent engine and emissions performance and the supply is limited only by the availability of environmentally appropriate tropical acreage. POP Diesel opposes cultivation of the jatropha tree on forested or recently cleared land, and it supports smallholder farmers to grow food crops, in addition to their jatropha plantings.
