Bus Company Could Stop Using Biodiesel

The commission is to debate a report that advises giving up the use of fuel made with a five per cent soya bean oil content.

A report in the Globe and Mail says that the commissions faces a bill of an extra C$1.5 million a year by using biodiesel and it fears that the bill could go up to C$97 million next year from C$65 million this year, because it will have to renegotiate its fuel contract.

While the report being consideredx by the commission says that the biodiesel produced less soot in its older buses, it adds that they are to be reitred in two to three years and the new hybrid diesel-electric buses are 99 per cent as clean with conventional diesel and biodiesel.
