Biodiesel in Germany and U.S.

Germany leads the global biodiesel market, producing over a million metric tons each year and making the alternative to conventional, petroleum-based diesel fuel available at filling stations around the country. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has awarded $960,000 in grants to conduct a biodiesel fuel education program. The National Biodiesel Board will create education programming with technical support from the University of Idaho. More information is available at www.usda.gov.
