Portland biodiesel prices drop below diesel By | June 15, 2010 Posted July
12, 2010
Effective immediately, SeQuential-Pacific Biodiesel in association with
Leathers Fuels, Star Oilco and Powell Distributing are reducing the retail
price for B99 biodiesel to $2.99 per gallon through Aug. 15 for a customer
appreciation event, and to raise awareness for local, sustainable biodiesel.
With petroleum diesel rising to over $3.25 at retail pumps, this marks the
first time biodiesel is lower than petroleum diesel since hurricanes Katrina
and Rita in 2005.
"Our customers have been so committed to cleaner burning local fuel, we felt
this is the best way we can give back and show our appreciation," said Gavin
Carpenter, regional sales manager with SeQuential-Pacific Biodiesel. "The
best part is not only can they fuel with a clean conscience knowing the bio
is made 50 miles down I-5, they're saving money, and if diesel keeps rising,
they could save a lot of money."
SeQuential-Pacific operates Oregon's largest and most sustainable biodiesel
facility, generating more than 5 million gallons a year. The primary
feedstock for production is recycled cooking oil. Having already served its
purpose in the food industry, recycled oil is one of the most sustainable
feedstocks for biodiesel. Kettle Foods and Burgerville supply their used
cooking oil to SeQuential along with thousands of other restaurants
throughout the Northwest.
Biodiesel is non-toxic and biodegradable and helps combat global warming
while improving air quality. The city of Portland's diesel fleet currently
runs an average blend of 20 percent biodiesel in its vehicles, and all
diesel sold in Oregon is a 2 percent blend as part of the state's renewable
fuel standard.
The following locations will offer $2.99 Oregon-produced biodiesel through
Aug. 15:
