CARB enacts new port measures to reduce diesel particulate
Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.
Times are a changing on the water. I have written before on how ports are a big source of pollution and how converting the trucks and equipment to biodiesel could significantly reduce pollution. In Seattle, SSA has done this. Royal Carribean, one of Imperium Renewables customers has also converted a significant number of ships to biodiesel in part for economics in part to get a jump on regulations. Now CARB has made a number of things mandatory by 2014 which I believe will significantly drive the demand for biodiesel in ports. Go CARB.
