Brief Project Summary:

Increased interest in low carbon biodiesel, with Low Carbon Fuel Standard initiatives and an increasing demand for Bioheat on the East Coast to move towards B50 – B100, has heightened interest in using the fuel pipeline system to move biodiesel blends from the Gulf Coast petroleum/biodiesel complex northward.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Several key pieces of technical data are needed to encourage/support increased shipment of biodiesel blends on pipelines in the US that also carry jet fuel. The first is increasing approval of biodiesel in the current jet fuel standard, ASTM D1655, as well as ongoing maintenance and education of best practices regarding biodiesel level detection at pre-airfield terminals.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
