Irving will focus on managing the accelerated growth Biodiesel Industries is undergoing. His experience in navigating companies through explosive growth periods is expected to be used to help Biodiesel Industries effectively capitalize on this opportunity.

Biodiesel is a nontoxic and biodegradable substitute and supplement for petroleum diesel, and is made from recycled vegetable oils and animal fats. Even in blends as low as 20% Biodiesel to 80% petroleum (known as B20), biodiesel has been shown to substantially reduce emission levels and toxicity of diesel exhaust.

Biodiesel is designated under federal law as an "alternative fuel" and is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a fuel and fuel additive.
