Renewable fuels help improve our environment by reducing emissions of harmful pollutants. E85 reduces emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and benzene, a known human carcinogen, while the use of biodiesel cuts emissions of CO, particulate matter (PM), and sulfates. Certain emissions such as acetaldehyde (E85) and NOx (biodiesel) increase with the use of these fuels, but overall, these fuels provide important emissions benefits.
