New Hampshire's 1st biodiesel pump has opened to the public. World Energy Alternatives will supply the biodiesel to Fleming's Shell Convenience Store, located at 99B Route nine in West Chesterfield, New Hampshire. Fleming's will sell B20, or a 20% blend of biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel.
"For the end user, biodiesel has in excess of just emissions benefits, including the fact that it has higher lubricity than standard petroleum diesel," said Rick Fleming, president of Fleming Oil. "These biodiesel benefits can be a product differentiator for retailers, helping to drive more business through the door."
In December, Maine also welcomed a new pump that offers blended biodiesel to the public. The B20 pump is located at frontier village market on Route three in South China, Maine. The biodiesel will be provided by Frontier Energy, the only full-service supplier of 100% and blended biofuels and biolubricants in the state, according to the company. Vice President Joel Glatz says biodiesel is poised to become an integral part of Maine's transportation system.
