CITY OF KEENE & Biodiesel Seven years of experience with B-20 Biodiesel in a City Fleet with no problems !

BIODIESEL B-20 - THE REASONS: Runs in Existing, unmodified engines Integrates with existing fuel infrastructure Increases lubricity Cuts exhaust emissions, eliminates black smoke and odor – Just ask my mechanics!

Biodiesel – Keene NH So in what engines do we use B-20 ? International CaseNew Holland CatJohn Deere CumminsDetroit & Kohler from a 1969 Ingram roller to a 2007 Ford F450 Entire Fleet runs on biodiesel

B-20 and its fuel characteristics No loss of power Increase in fuel mileage reports of 1 to 2 additional miles per gallon running B- 20 With proper fuel additive no problems with gelling reported. Warranties are not voided despite all the rumors Manufacturers warranty their parts and workmanship - not FUEL!

Health benefits Operators have stated that the headaches they would get from operating equipment with 100% diesel have gone away while operating equipment with B-20. In an air quality study done at the Keene transfer station the PM2.5 particulate matter was reduced by over 60% ! Let’s hear more.

Diesel Engines and Air Quality Diesel engines - MAJOR environmental and public health concern Oxides of Nitrogen or NOx; Fine particulate matter A complex mixture of volatile chemicals (carcinogens or respiratory damaging agents) Downtown LA, 4/29/2004 Source: MSNBCmedia.msn.com

Biodiesel and the environment. Are we really helping the environment? Use of Biodiesel in the Cities 68 trucks and equipment means 417 tons of CO2 is eliminated each year it is used.

BIODIESEL IN KEENE It is working and Keene has cleaner air because of it. Contact Info: ci.keene.nh.us
