University Of Georgia Finalizes Plans For Biodiesel Buses
April 10, 2006 -- University buses could soon be running on biodiesel fuel. Friday was the deadline for biodiesel suppliers to bid for a contract with the University, and one could be selected as early as this week, said Ron Hamlin, manager of the Campus Transit System. “There’s no reason really not to do it,” said Daniel Geller, a faculty of engineering public service representative. “This stuff does not wreck engines, it’s better for engines.” The prices of petroleum and biodiesel are the same right now, Geller said, and biodiesel is the easiest alternative fuel the University can use.
