Who We Are
Founded in 2004, SeQuential
Pacific Biodiesel is a joint-venture
between SeQuential Biofuels of
Oregon and Pacific Biodiesel of
Maui, Hawaii. As the longestrunning commercial biodiesel
producer in the Pacific Northwest,
SeQuential Pacific is deeply
committed to improving the
environment and invigorating the local economy by providing a clean burning,
renewable fuel that is sustainably produced from regionally sourced feedstocks.
SeQuential Pacific makes its biodiesel from recycled cooking oil collected from
thousands of restaurants and businesses throughout the region. Every drop of oil the
company collects is turned into biodiesel that is then distributed back into the local
community.
What’s the Impact?
To date, SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel has produced more than 20 million gallons of
biodiesel. With up to 78% fewer emissions of carbon dioxide and other harmful gasses
than petroleum diesel, biodiesel yields significant environmental benefits. The 20 million
gallons SeQuential Pacific produced is enough to offset more than 376 million gallons of
carbon. That’s the same as:



Replacing 461 thousand incandescent light bulbs with CFLs
Not driving for 404 million miles, or nearly 132 thousand coast to coast trips across
the US.
Planting 128 thousand trees
Fuel Up. Feel Good.
