I copy an Email I received from the Minnesota Dept. of Ag earlier this week. The biodiesel mandate hits Sept 29. Soymor at Albert Lea went into production in June and now has its ASTM certification for B100 grade 15 million gal/yr if I recall. I think Brewster is close (if not already in) production too. Another 15+ million. I know there is some interest in a biodiesel plant at Chatfield.

 

Some of you may have been confused by the posting in today's State Register. The register indicated that the 2% biodiesel mandate would be implemented on September 22, 2005. Be advised, that this error will be corrected by an errata posted in the Tuesday, September 6, 2005 Register (Monday is a holiday) clarifying that the 2% biodiesel fuel use requirement will in fact begin on Thursday September 29, 2005.

Sorry if this caused any inconvenience.

We have E85 and Bio Diesel.  Anyone interested can buy it at Service drive or 50 Riverview drive. And the Bio diesel will be in all our stores in town next week and is available for farm delivery immediately.     The weather situation has closed refineries in the south and those pipelines run into the Chicago market which includes Madison.  Trucks that normally go to Madison from western Wisconsin  are coming over here and causing a strain on our supplies.   Remember also that when retail customer run on the top half of their tank instead of the bottom it creates artificial demand on a one shot basis.   This creates temporary demand  in the supply system .,        Petroleum is also a logistics business and having it in the wrong place makes for area shortages.  The sooner the coast refineries restart the sooner the situation will be back to normal.         Tom Severson Severson Oil Co.

You will find lots of interesting stuff (if you look hard enough) regarding "home brew" alternative fuels - diesel alternatives in this case. Cooking fat to biodiesel does work. There is a biodiesel refinery near Jackson, Mississippi producing the stuff for the commenrcial market. Incidently, when one burns soybean-based biodiesel at a high enough ratio the exhaust smells like popcorn. (corn/beans? something doesn't seem right, but that's what they say).   Chuck Dillerud   -------------- Original message -------------- > [Winona Online Democracy] >
