Biodiesel Technical Reference Guide
Promoting biodiesel in a community benefits the environment and public health, diverts waste fat and oils from landfills and waste water treatment plants, enhances the local economy and helps improve energy security. In addition, biodiesel can be used in the majority of existing vehicles with little or no engine modifications necessary. This technical reference guide, intended for use by federal agencies, provides links to current technical information, case studies from federal agencies and installations currently using biodiesel and information on how and where federal agencies can purchase biodiesel.
This technical guide, broken into six chapters, introduces biodiesel to the reader. The guide then discusses the legal requirements and incentives for federal agencies interested in using biodiesel and the advantages and challenges of using biodiesel. Finally, the guide provides examples of agencies using biodiesel and presents steps an agency can take to start buying and using biodiesel.
Although this guide is geared towards federal agencies, local governments interested in using biodiesel in their fleets can also benefit from the information.
