Beginning April 1, 2011, the amount of biodiesel blended in Oregon's diesel fuel will increase from two percent to five percent. Oregon's renewable fuel standard, passed in 2007 and amended in 2009 by the Oregon Legislature, requires a five percent biodiesel blend to be sold once in-state production capacity reaches 15 million gallons. Oregon's production capacity increased last year, triggering the new requirement. Since 2009, diesel sold in Oregon has contained two percent biodiesel, as required by Oregon's renewable fuel standard. The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) will work with fuel dealers to make sure they are selling a five percent biodiesel blend. ODA also works with fuel dealers to test B100 biodiesel to make sure it meets fuel quality standards. For more information, click here.
