Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides guidance and solutions to services and communities in their ventures to develop new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and competence BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has acquired a special innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, allowing the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The capability to customize the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process instead of altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely versatile and more effective procedure. The process likewise enables a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in operating expense through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been validated through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has been extensively tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have been demonstrated, both separately along with blends.

Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center located beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, advancement, building to management. This center exemplifies the revolutionary technology of BNE and production process that utilized multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and lucrative biodiesel .

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process expert will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance estimations and create the chemical procedure for sophisticated feedstocks.
