Buffalo Biodiesel Inc., an industrial waste recycling and renewable feedstock enterprise with over 10 facilities in the Northeast United States and a fully permitted New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Part 360 plant in Tonawanda, NY, announced on November 11, 2026, the launch of the BBD Token (BBD) on Base Mainnet. The token, developed in-house, is designed strictly as a functional utility token to provide standardized commercial product settlement and environmental-attribute retirement at a $5.00 USD product benchmark.
The BBD Token enables commercial customers and counterparties to purchase and trade Buffalo Biodiesel's recycled, carbon-reduced, and carbon-negative products. These include refined Used Cooking Oil (UCO), Buffalo Biogas Booster digester additive, renewable natural gas (RNG), green electricity, biochar, and zero-VOC formulations such as tire shine, bio-degreasers, Buffalo Bio Release concrete release agents, and Buffalo Bio Shield protectants. The company's founder and engineering team also have more than eight patents pending and over a dozen in the pipeline for new eco-friendly products and services, including novel materials from waste tires, steel slag, and waste wood.
"For over two decades, Buffalo Biodiesel has converted commercial waste into industrial commodities and clean energy," said Frank V. Balon, Esq., President and Chief Legal Officer. "We developed BBD Token in-house strictly as a consumptive utility instrument, enabling transparent commercial settlement across refined UCO, Buffalo Biogas Booster, green chemicals, RNG, and green electricity, plus verifiable on-chain environmental-attribute retirement (burnToRetireAttributes)."
The token operates on Base Mainnet (Chain ID: 8453) with the smart contract address 0x3a3c13AEd283d7Ae0A0Fa4C1858e21dfe9a2c564 and 18 decimals. Corporate control is managed through a 3-of-5 multi-signature Safe at 0xe956bFaD1f088BC2A79cAF90115027Fb2015b16B. The commercial settlement benchmark is set at $5.00 USD in eligible products or services per 1.00 BBD.
This launch matters because it introduces a blockchain-based settlement mechanism for physical commodity and environmental-attribute transactions, potentially streamlining how commercial counterparts transact in recycled feedstocks and green products. By using a utility token, Buffalo Biodiesel aims to bring transparency and standardization to commercial settlement while enabling verifiable retirement of environmental attributes on-chain. The $5.00 benchmark provides a clear reference point for pricing eligible goods and services, which could reduce friction in bilateral trade and enhance auditability.
The company emphasizes that BBD is a consumptive utility unit, not a security or financial instrument. Under the legal precedents of United Housing Foundation, Inc. v. Forman, 421 U.S. 837 (1975) and SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946), BBD is redeemable solely for eligible Buffalo Biodiesel goods, services, and environmental-attribute retirements. It is not a stablecoin, is not redeemable for cash, confers zero ownership, voting, or dividend rights, and is not marketed for speculative profit. Patent and pipeline statements are forward-looking and subject to commercialization risks.

The launch signals a step toward integrating blockchain settlement into the waste-to-energy and renewable feedstock industry, with potential implications for how environmental attributes are tracked and retired in commercial transactions.
