Green-Diesel
Hotel in Cape Town

Green-Diesel, with its head office in Cape Town, produces high quality biodiesel. We always need more used cooking oil to make biodiesel. Whatever we don't have in stock, take-aways, restaurants, hotels, canteens, collects used cooking oil from various kitchens, we will endeavor to source for you. We deliver in the Cape Peninsula and use a courier for deliveries elsewhere. Green-Diesel provides training in biodiesel production at our factory or on-site.Our recovery team, fast food outlets and caterers. We manufacture small to medium size biodiesel plants and we sell biodiesel equipment, chemicals and accessories. Green-Diesel is a one stop biodiesel shop, serving the entire Southern African region. Call us and we will collect.

Biodiesel is made from a renewable energy source unlike fossil diesel which is made from a finite energy source. As long as we have sun, water and soil, we can grow crops that have a high oil content in their nuts or seeds. It is non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-flammable and biodegradable. It can be made from used cooking oil (which is already a waste product) Wherever fossil diesel is used, biodiesel can be used. Biodiesel is made from a vegetable oil (pressed from nuts or seeds) or animal fat (tallow or rendered chicken fat). When biodiesel is made using methanol, it is referred to as a Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME). A catalyst is used to create the chemical reaction between the oil and the methanol. A typical catalyst will be Potassium Hydroxide or Sodium Hydroxide. The by-product of biodiesel production is called Glycerol (sometimes called Glycerin), which also has many uses. Biodiesel is a direct replacement for fossil diesel. However it can also be blended with fossil diesel in any percentage. Biodiesel is better for your engine and will extend it’s service life. Designed and manufactured in Cape Town using clever engineering, our CERES range of processors combine the 3 stages of production (Processing, Washing & Drying) into a single tank with a very small footprint. Green-Diesel manufacture, supply and install biodiesel blending systems to mix biodiesel and fossil diesel in the right percentage, according to customer requirements. Green-Diesel collects used cooking oil from Restaurants, Hotels, Fast Food Franchises, Hospitals, Ships, Military Bases, Fish Shops, Catering Companies and many more. It has a higher Cetane rating that improves the efficiency of compression ignition. It is non-flammable, non-hazardous, non-toxic & environmentally friendly. Users can switch between biodiesel and regular diesel as they wish. It has superior cleaning properties over all other regular diesel. It provides much better engine lubrication than regular diesel.
