Biodiesel promise
BY 2030, every heavy-duty truck in the United States could be fueled with a 20% (B20) biodiesel blend. Reaching that milestone will take a lot of work, but it can be done. A number of factors make biodiesel a good fit as an alternative fuel for the trucking industry. The fuel is very similar to petroleum-based diesel and can be used without engine modifications. Biodiesel offers similar fuel economy,
Biodiesel carving out a niche in trucking
WITH crude oil climbing above $55 a barrel, such alternative fuels as biodiesel are getting a closer look. Biodiesel, in particular, seems to be carving out a niche as a promising new fuel for heavy-duty vehicles. However, customers and distributors still have a lot of questions about biodiesel and its potential for the marketplace. Russ Teall, president of Biodiesel Industries, provided some answers
