Cleaner Biodiesel for Farm Equipment
Demonstration Project
Location: California:
San Joaquin Valley
EPA is providing a $100,000 grant with $160,000
in matching funds to Sustainable Conservation, a non-profit
organization based in the San Joaquin Valley. This project
will test the effectiveness of a fuel additive in agricultural
equipment that reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) from biodiesel.
Anticipated emissions reductions are a 10 percent for carbon
monoxide, 15 percent for particulate matter, 10 percent for
hydrocarbons, and 20 percent for sulfates. Most importantly,
although there is typically a small increase in NOx from biodiesel,
there is no increase in nitrogen oxide emissions with this
additive.
