It’s probably the afterglow of Earth Day and the media timing their stories to be timely, but there seems to be an amazing number of local newspapers with stories online that talk about various
biodiesel or
ethanol or recycling efforts. We’ve already looked at
Wisconsin and
Napa Valley. Now, here’s a story about
Maine, where homemade biodiesel and a heating fuel made in part from
biofuel are given a deeper look. The article mentions
Frontier Oil, which has been selling heating biofuel (a B20 mix of petroleum and biofuel) since 2001. I wonder if it has the same French fry smell as biodiesel. The article says there is no commercial biodiesel manufacturing in Maine, but biodiesel is available in two towns, South China and Union. As of Friday, biodiesel was 6 cents a gallon cheaper than regular
diesel in Maine. [Source: MaineToday.com]
