The Biodiesel Coalition of Missouri (BCM) is opening a cost-share opportunity for fleets – the Biodiesel Credit Program. This annual program is reserved for fleet operations located in Missouri that are utilizing biodiesel blends of B6 or higher.
‘Why Missouri?’ you may ask—well although Missouri may be the “show me” state, Service Truck Magazine will tell you.
Did you know that Missouri ranks second in the US for its biodiesel production? With biodiesel an important economic contributor across Missouri, the BCM works to increase the availability of clean, renewable biodiesel through promotion, training, and advocacy initiatives.
“Missouri biodiesel production provides significant benefits to our state, local fuel supply, and environment,” explained James Greer, BCM’s Chairman. “As a domestically produced, cleaner-burning substitute for petroleum diesel, biodiesel fuels both energy security and public health. With ample advantages, BCM highly encourages fleets statewide to use biodiesel in each tank.”
BCM is offering 25 cents/gallon up to $1,000 for fleets that utilize B6 or higher biodiesel blends.
Eligibility includes public or private entities with fleets using biodiesel blends, including but not limited to county and municipal fleets, trucking fleets, and farm fleets.
The Biodiesel Fleet Credit Program submissions are open now and can be accessed HERE.
“Biodiesel provides numerous benefits to fleets including added lubricity, more efficient combustion, and reduced wear and tear while maintaining performance,” noted Matt Amick, the Executive Director of BCM. “This program is a great opportunity for fleets to utilize Missouri-made fuel, support farmers and the local economy to provide cleaner air for all.”
The program is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Additional applications will be placed on a waiting list as receipts are reviewed and approved.
