LOL > > Hakan ====================================== Hi Hakan,
The state of Minnesota has a relatively new 2% (B2) requirement for biodiesel. This mandate is the first in the USA. Its a good way to allow the startup operations for biodiesel production plants. They are building one now in southwest MN. The transportation companies did not like the mandate. It was supposed to raised the cost of diesel about 0.03 USD. I believe the railroad industry and internal mining operations (taconite iron) are exempt. I thought it sounded a little funny (B2), but it is better than nothing and it is a beginning. We also have to remember that outdoor temperatures can drop to -37.7 degrees Celsius (-36 F.) during the winter months. http://www.newrules.org/agri/biodieselmn.html Ron B. _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
