There are many benefits to using Soy Biodiesel in Ohio’s school buses, the first is clean air for kids. Cleaner-burning soy biodiesel in Ohio’s school buses will help make a difference in the air our children breathe every day.
NEW! Incorporating biodiesel lessons into the science classroom presentation
Soy biodiesel offers many advantages
- It’s Clean: Shows a substantial reduction of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter
- It’s Safe: Non-toxic and fully biodegradable
- It’s Simple: Can be used in any diesel engine without modifications
- It’s Sensible: Provides increased engine lubricity for longer engine life
- It’s Renewable: A fuel made from renewable sources
- It’s Local: Produced by 26,000 Ohio soybean farmers
The time is right for schools to make the switch to soy biodiesel as the Clean Air for Kids program and the state of Ohio will help offset any cost difference between soy biodiesel and petroleum diesel.
Soy biodiesel is a smart choice for school buses because of its cleaner burning properties and low emissions…important issues when children are nearby. In fact, soy biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have completed the Health Effects testing requirements of the Clean Air Act.
