Daryl Hannah campaigns for biodiesel standard

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – A group of celebrity-led campaigners are setting up sustainable standards for biofuels in the United States to stave off fears that producing some green fuels may do more harm than good for the environment.

The Sustainable Biofuels Alliance, set up by actress
Daryl Hannah together with country singer
Willie Nelson and biodiesel producers Bob and Kelly King, is bringing together activists and scientists to give consumers better guidance on clean fuels.


It aims to have stringent norms for biodiesel in the world’s top fuel consumer set up by September, backed by checks on the supply chain that will accredit firms seen as producing green fuels, Hannah told Reuters on Friday.

“I haven’t been to a gas station in seven years and it feels fantastic,” said Hannah, who lives off-grid in the Rocky Mountains, using solar energy and driving a car run on biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil.
