New
Cross-Border Bio-Diesel Project Converts
Bio49 is a response
to the EPA’s “West Coast Collaborative,” an
initiative working to reduce diesel air pollution. The project
derives its name from the 49th parallel latitude that crosses
the U.S-Canada border near Washington state and British Columbia.
The EPA grant, along with matching funds totaling $280,000,
will be used to launch and fund the Bio49 project for one
year.
