Missouri legislature to tackle biodiesel standard, ethanol requirement
12/17/08

A leading lawmaker in Missouri is calling for a mandate of biodiesel use in the state. Missouri already requires that gasoline sold in the state contain 10 percent ethanol. A separate measure would drop the state’s ethanol rule.
Senate Transportation Chairman Bill Stouffer, R-Napton, filed a bill for consideration during the 2009 session, which would require all diesel fuel sold at the retail level in the state to be a biodiesel blend. The measure – SB29 – would require at least 5 percent biodiesel at the pumps by July 2011.
If it becomes law, Missouri would become the sixth state to enact some sort of biodiesel requirement. Louisiana, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington have approved 2 percent standards while New Mexico has authorized a 5 percent requirement.
