First BioDiesel Station Opens in New Hampshire
– World Energy Teams-Up With Global E To Open Up New Biodiesel Station -
Chelsea, Mass (PRWEB) December 4, 2003
World Energy Alternatives, LLC, the leading supplier of biodiesel, biodiesel blends and other biofuels today announced the opening of New HampshireÂ’s first biodiesel station.
Global E will be supplying World Energy Biodiesel to FlemingÂ’s Shell Convenience Store located at 99B Route 9, West Chesterfield, NH. FlemingÂ’s will be offering the public B20, or a 20% blend of biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is a clean burning, renewable fuel that is made from renewable sources such as soybean oil, grown in the United States.
In addition to its renewable content, biodiesel also significantly reduces emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released a comprehensive technical report of biodiesel emissions data that shows the exhaust emissions of particulate matter from pure
Biodiesel are about 47 percent lower than overall particulate matter emissions from diesel.
Breathing particulate has been shown to be a human health hazard. Biodiesel emissions also reduce by 80 to 90 percent potential cancer causing compounds called Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitrated PAH. Biodiesel also reduces emissions of total unburned
Hydrocarbons, a contributing factor to smog and ozone, by about 68 percent.
“For the end user, biodiesel has more than just emissions benefits including the fact that it has higher lubricity than standard petroleum diesel. This can help engines run longer and smoother. These biodiesel benefits can be a product differentiator for retailers, helping to drive more business through the door,” said Rick Fleming, president of Fleming Oil.
The biodiesel market has doubled in size year over year and this year is expected to top 20 million gallons of B100 sold. Today, there are over 150 retail stations nation-wide with more becoming operational every month. “With the help of key distributors like Global E Industries, World Energy will continue to grow the biodiesel market, including the development of more retail sites like the ones in New Hampshire” said Gene Gebolys, president of World Energy.
