New Biodiesel Requirement

The American Lung Association of Minnesota, a longtime promoter of cleaner-burning vehicles and fuels, today hailed the start of Minnesota’s first-in-the-nation biodiesel mandate. Effective September 29, 2005, most diesel fuel sold in the state will be a “B2″ biodiesel blend that contains two percent renewable fuel derived from vegetable (usually soy) oils or animal fats.

With the increased availability of biodiesel in Minnesota, more fleets and individual consumers are now using higher blends like B5, B10 and B20. For more on biodiesel and other cleaner burning fuels, visit http://www.cleanairchoice.org/ .
