Switzerland's only 100% self-service biodiesel station.
Produced in Domdidier exclusively from used cooking oil. The largest biodiesel production in Switzerland — reinventing the future, now.
A renewable fuel, made from waste.
Biodiesel is a sustainable alternative to fossil diesel, produced from renewable resources such as used cooking oil. At Be8 Biodiesel SA in Domdidier, we give used cooking oil a second life by converting it into a high-quality fuel that helps reduce CO₂ emissions and promotes more sustainable mobility.
Our FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) biodiesel is produced using proven technology renowned for its quality and reliability.
In fact, biodiesel is already present in most diesel fuels sold in Switzerland in the form of the B7 blend (7% biodiesel blended with fossil diesel), which has been used for several years without requiring changes to refuelling habits or affecting vehicle performance.
We transform waste into energy for a more sustainable future
In Switzerland, biodiesel is waste recycling.
Since 2012, by popular vote, Switzerland has required every biofuel consumed in the country — locally produced or imported — to be made 100% from waste. This is the so-called second-generation biofuel, which adds value to waste instead of competing with food farming.
Second generation
Switzerland is one of the very few countries requiring all biofuel to come from waste, preserving farmland for food purposes.
EN 14214 standard
The European standard EN 14214 sets 26 quality parameters. Be8 biodiesel complies with it, ensuring high quality and engine performance.
Who we are, and what we do here.
Our site in Domdidier recovers and reprocesses used cooking oils, turning them into high-quality biodiesel. The Be8 filling station is currently the only one in Switzerland supplying biodiesel 100% in self-service.
Founded in 2007, the Domdidier facility became part of the Brazilian Be8 Group in 2022, drawing on the expertise of one of Latin America's leading biofuel producers. Committed to the highest standards of quality and sustainability, we operate under strict environmental controls and ensure full traceability for every litre of recovered oil and biodiesel produced.
Can I use biodiesel in my vehicle?
A renewable, safe solution already used every day in Switzerland
Be8 biodiesel is a high-quality renewable fuel compatible with a wide range of diesel vehicles. Subject to each manufacturer's technical specifications and approvals, some engines can use higher biodiesel blends, including pure biodiesel (B100). The appropriate blend must always be determined in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations and requirements.

Quality and compatibility
Modern vehicles
Most diesel vehicles on the road already use biodiesel through the blends available at filling stations.
Fuel system
Thanks to its cleaning properties, biodiesel can help gradually remove deposits that have accumulated in the fuel system over the years.
Particulate filter
Biodiesel is characterized by low particulate emissions, contributing to cleaner combustion.
Seasonal use
As with any fuel, operating characteristics may vary depending on climatic conditions. Be8 offers products adapted to market requirements and seasonal conditions.
