The station was made possible with a $3.5 million California Air Resources Board grant, administered by the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District.
Air Resources Board chairwoman Mary Nichols described E85 as a transitional fuel that will help get Californians used to the idea of trying alternative fuels as the state moves forward in its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Here again, we see a CARB grant make biodiesel and E85 available to consumers who are willing to buy it, but in many areas, are not able to buy biofuels simply because the retail sales are not available.
THE city of Seattle and King County have abandoned their crop-based biofuels programs. So must Washington state.
The state must rescind its myriad laws requiring public and private use of biofuels. These laws force use of crop-based biofuels — the only biofuels available for mass consumption. Hoping and waiting for so-called "second generation" biofuels is denying the global devastation biofuels are wreaking now.
This opinion punishes the USA for what South American countries are doing to destroy the rain forests. Every biofuel crop takes water and land and work that could grow food, no way around that.

Eleven companies, including listed Chemrez Technologies, Inc., are registered as biodiesel producers, and can produce some 380 million liters of biodiesel per year, almost double the 150-million liter requirement for the 2% blend, data from the Energy department show.
Mr. Arranza will replace Danilo M. Coronacion as the president and chief executive of the CIIF Oil Mills Group.
The CIIF Oil Mills Group, which accounts for almost half of crude coconut oil exports, is the biggest and the most integrated group in the local coconut industry.
Philippines may not have many oil wells, but they sure can grow some coconuts, and their government is treating that valuable source of income just like a gold mine.

The customer Uniol AS obtained the Austrian company’s multi-feedstock biodiesel technology with an overall investment volume of EUR 35 million, financed by Raiffeisen Leasing Nordic AB, Stockholm. This process, with which BDI is a global market leader, is used to produce biodiesel very cost-effectively in the plant from various raw materials ranging from fresh vegetable oils to residuals such as used cooking oils and animal fats.
There you go, a huge biodiesel plant built in Norway, a country that does have some oil, and this plant can make biodiesel from a variety of feedstocks, including waste fryer oil. Smart, Norway.
