August 21, 2002Biodiesel fuel arrives in Western New York The first shipment of biodiesel fuel has entered Western New York. Noco Energy Corp. received a shipment of 20,000 gallons of biodiesel that it will blend with conventional diesel and market in the Buffalo-Niagara Region as "B20."
B20 is an industry term for a diesel fuel mixture that contains 20 percent biodiesel. Noco is the first biodiesel retailer in the state and is trying to become the first certified B20 marketer in the country.
Noco will use support from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the U.S. Department of Energy to develop an ethanol fueling network here.
The demand for biofuels is rising rapidly because of their potential to reduce petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. NYSERDA is partnering with Noco on development and demonstration projects for biofuels to displace petroleum-based diesel and fuel oil products.
The ethanol project will have NYSERDA, the U.S. Department of Energy, Clean Communities of Western New York, the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition and Noco as sponsoring partners.
For this $285,000 project, Noco will develop a network of three strategically located, public access ethanol (E85) fueling sites at Noco retail fueling stations in the Buffalo metropolitan area. These fueling sites will initially be used by the U.S. Postal Service to fuel 100 of its flexible fuel vehicles.
Additional participating fleets from the New York State Thruway Authority, major universities and area federal government departments are expected to benefit from this project. The results of this project are expected to reduce green house gas emissions by 2,800 tons and reduce petroleum consumption by more than 857,000 gallons over the life of the alternative fuel vehicles.
