Biodiesel Prices Brought Down By 17 Iowa Stations
17 Kum & Go stations in more than twelve communities from Iowa will cut down the price of B2 biodiesel by ten cents per gallon staring today June 18, 2007. This will start from 8 in the morning until noon. The single largest promotion for biodiesel is expected in the upper Midwest which is entitled “Biodiesel Appreciation Day”. This event was acknowledged by a group of environmentalists and politicians that aims to stop the nation’s obsession with petroleum.
"While ethanol makes a lot of headlines, especially here in Iowa, biodiesel has become the sleeping giant of biofuels," said Jessica Zopf, an environmental health coordinator for the American Lung Association of Iowa. "Iowa produces 225 million gallons of cleaner-burning biodiesel a year, which can significantly reduce harmful tailpipe emissions when used in higher concentrations. Buying a two percent blend biodiesel may be a small step, but it is a vital beginning on a path toward cleaner air, greener fuels and less dependence on petroleum."
