December 30, 2002Interest in biodiesel grows despite costs Sunday, December 29, 2002

UKIAH, Calif. -- Surrounded by a pack of tail-wagging dogs, Dave Hawley stuck his bearded face up to the exhaust pipe of his delivery truck, closed his eyes and inhaled.
Hawley is indeed hooked on biodiesel, a pollution-reducing fuel gleaned from restaurant grease or the oil of crops like soybeans.
Biodiesel is the fastest-growing alternative fuel in the country, according to the National Biodiesel Board, which touts its ability to extend engine life, improve fuel economy, cut down on air pollution and reduce reliance on foreign oil. It has been in use in Europe for some 15 years.
But biodiesel is more expensive than traditional diesel - at least 30 percent more at one point last summer. To lower costs, lawmakers have proposed tax incentives for using biodiesel, but Congress adjourned for the session without acting on the bills.
