Biodiesel. Not to be confused with biofuels or ethanol, it’s a domestic, renewable fuel for diesel engines derived from natural oils like soybean oil. It’s a key part of the $5 billion alternative fuel market designed to reduce U.S. and global dependence on traditional fossil fuels, improve air quality and reduce the carbon footprint.  Biodiesel use is accelerating faster than any other alternative fuel due to its use of non-food feedstocks and the minimal need to alter diesel engines or fuel delivery infrastructure, and regardless of what is used - chicken fat, pork and other animal fats, soy, waste restaurant grease or vegetable oil - it must meet certain specifications.
Enter a company that reveals if biodiesel meets the required specs: Paradigm Sensors, founded by our Featured Entrepreneur, Paradigm Sensors President Robert Young.

Prior experience in start-ups allowed him to quickly guide the transfer of technology from Marquette University to Paradigm Sensors and put together an exceptional team of talented individuals to accomplish the mission of the company. read more
