IRFA promotes use of biodiesel

-Following Iowa Governor Terry Branstad’s emergency proclamation to allow for more transport of diesel products, the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) today reminded diesel users and suppliers that using cleaner-burning, homegrown biodiesel ranging in blends of 5 to 20 percent can help stretch tight supplies.

 “Given Gov. Branstad’s emergency proclamation, one of the best ways to help alleviate tight diesel supplies is to blend it with high-quality, homegrown biodiesel,” stated IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw. “High-quality biodiesel blends ranging from B5 to B20 can be used and treated just as No. 2 diesel throughout the winter.  Several Iowa biodiesel producers have supplies that can be shipped to a fuel terminal or jobber today.”
