By XBEE Natural Fuel TreatmentOn March 28, 2006 the company Biodiesel Industries Inc. located in California, USA shared their conclusions regarding an extensive study covering biodiesels and their gas emissions.
This contract was funded by the District to study the feasibility of manufacturing and using biodiesel in the Bay Area. Almost half of the State’s petroleum refineries reside in the Bay Area. The District designed the contract parameters around proving both the economic feasibility of refining biodiesel from local feed stocks, as well as the availability of methods to reduce NOx, which is biodiesel’s largest drawback.
