To recognize and celebrate National Biodiesel Day, the Biodiesel Coalition of Missouri (BCM) is announcing a new County and Municipal Fleet Biodiesel Credit Program. This annual program will be reserved for fleet operations located in Missouri that are utilizing biodiesel blends of B6 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMissouri biodiesel production provides significant benefits to our state, local fuel supply and environment,\u201d said James Greer, BCM chairman. \u201cAs a domestically produced, cleaner-burning substitute for petroleum diesel, biodiesel fuels both energy security and public health. With ample advantages, BCM highly encourages fleets statewide to use biodiesel in each tank.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BCM is offering 25 cents\/gallon up to $1,000 for county and municipal fleets that utilize B6 or higher biodiesel blends with receipts dated between April 1 \u2013 Oct. 1, 2023. At the beginning of Oct., fleets may submit receipts at missouribiodiesel.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBiodiesel provides numerous benefits to fleets including added lubricity, more efficient combustion and reduced wear and tear while maintaining performance,\u201d said Matt Amick, BCM executive director. \u201cThis program is a great opportunity for county and municipal fleets to utilize Missouri-made fuel, support farmers and the local economy to provide cleaner air for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program is available to the first 25 applications. Additional applications will be placed on a waiting list as receipts are reviewed and approved. With any further questions, please contact Matt Amick at mamick@mosoy.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
