Soybean biodiesel significantly reduces lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions—by up to 78% compared to petroleum diesel. It is biodegradable, non-toxic, and reduces harmful emissions like carbon monoxide and particulates. However, large-scale cultivation may lead to deforestation or overuse of fertilizers. Using GlobeCore USB plants minimizes the environmental footprint during production by using energy-efficient systems, allowing for waste oil use, and reducing chemical losses. It supports sustainable biofuel production when paired with responsible farming and supply chain practices.
