WA: Port of Vancouver
Port of Vancouver Turns To Biofuel
In June 2006, the Port of Vancouver began fueling its trucks and heavy equipment with diesel that is 20 percent soybean oil. With this shift to B20 biodiesel, the port has joined the leading edge of a movement to make Washington less dependent on fossil fuels. Spiraling fuel prices contributed to the port's decision -- shortly before the announcement, biodiesel was selling for less than regular diesel at pumps in the metropolitan area.
