How To Join
The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) is organized exclusively to promote the common business interests of those parties seeking to advance the use of biodiesel as a fuel or fuel additive that meets ASTM standards. To advance these common interests, the NBB will admit to membership, on a nondiscriminatory basis, any industry member or supporter who meets the member requirements.
Whether you are wanting to be a producer of biodiesel or are a company that supports the biodiesel industry through provision of goods and/or services or simply an individual that supports biodiesel, the NBB has a lot to offer.
Producer of biodiesel Are you wanting to produce biodiesel?
All producers of biodiesel are required to register with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a fuel manufacturer if their product will be introduced into commerce in the United States. One requirement of this registration is access to health affects testing data on the fuel being registered. The EPA allows this access to be given from a “group” who has completed this testing previously and has such data on file with the EPA. The NBB completed this testing in 1997 at a cost of nearly $2.2 million. The NBB grants access to this data to all of its Biodiesel Processor and Small Producer members free of charge.
When registering with the EPA, producer’s must also complete forms 3520-16 and 3520-12. The forms are to register additives and motor vehicle fuels respectively. Both forms must be completed. To assist with accurate completion, the NBB has provided sample forms that you may use here.
