Biodiesel Coalition of Missouri’s Biodiesel Credit Program now open

The Biodiesel Coalition of Missouri announced Nov. 14 that it is opening a cost-share opportunity for fleets—the Biodiesel Credit Program.

This annual program is reserved for fleet operations located in Missouri that are utilizing biodiesel blends of B6 or higher.  

“Missouri biodiesel production provides significant benefits to our state, local fuel supply and environment,” said James Greer, chairman of the Biodiesel Coalition of Missouri.

“As a domestically produced, cleaner-burning substitute for petroleum diesel, biodiesel fuels both energy security and public health,” Greer said. “With ample advantages, the Biodiesel Coalition of Missouri highly encourages fleets statewide to use biodiesel in each tank.” 

The Biodiesel Coalition of Missouri is offering 25 cents per gallon up to $1,000 for fleets that utilize B6 or higher biodiesel blends. 

Eligibility includes public or private entities with fleets using biodiesel blends, including but not limited to county and municipal fleets, trucking fleets and farm fleets.

The Biodiesel Credit Program submissions are open now and can be accessed here.

“Biodiesel provides numerous benefits to fleets including added lubricity, more efficient combustion and reduced wear and tear while maintaining performance,” said Matt Amick, executive director of the Biodiesel Coalition of Missouri.

“This program is a great opportunity for fleets to utilize Missouri-made fuel, support farmers and the local economy to provide cleaner air for all,” Amick said.  

The program is available on a first-come first-serve basis.

Additional applications will be placed on a waiting list as receipts are reviewed and approved.
