Biohazard?

Considering what they’re putting into some biodiesel blends these days -- French fry grease, chicken fat, sunflower -- it might make more sense to buy the fuel for your kitchen rather than your Kenworth.

Just don’t tell that to the Feds or the B.C. government, though. They believe that biodiesel is a no-brainer for heavy truck fuel tanks -- so much so, that they’re going to ensure as many truckers as possible are filling up with the stuff in the next three years, regardless of significant outstanding operational and market-based concerns.

Urged on by farmers and the subsidized renewable-fuels industry, Ottawa is prescribing a national on-road biodiesel mandate of B2 (two-percent biofuel) at some point between 2010 and 2012.

In case you don’t read this magazine often enough, or you’ve been living in a far off country whose agriculture lobbyists have no idea what a diesel engine and a coconut could have in common, biodiesel is a renewable fuel made mostly from rapeseed, soybean, and other natural vegetable oils or animal fats. It can be blended at any grade (from B2 to pure B100) and combusts in any diesel vehicle.
