Washington, DC—President Bush on March 5 at the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC) called biodiesel the most promising renewable fuel for helping to meet renewable fuels standards.
The WIREC conference wraps up its four-day sessions that began March 3.
Here are a few of the ways biodiesel was highlighted.
"The legislation requires fuel producers to supply at least 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel in the year 2022," said President Bush.
"In other words, these just aren't goals, these are mandatory requirements.
"I'm confident the United States can meet those goals, and I know we must, for the sake of economic security, national security, and for the sake of being good stewards of the environment.
"Biodiesel is the most promising of these fuels.
"Biodiesel refineries can produce fuel from soybeans, and vegetable oils, and recycled cooking grease, from waste materials.
"All you out there with waste, you may be in business before you know it as this new technology kicks in.
"Most Americans -- or, more Americans -- are beginning to realize the benefits of biodiesel every year.
"Last year, we produced 450 million gallons of biodiesel.
"That's up 80 percent from 2006.
"Today there are more than 650 biodiesel fueling stations in America.
"There are hundreds of fleet operators that use biodiesel to fuel their trucks, and that's just the beginning of what is going to be a substantial change in our driving habits," said President Bush.
Equipment at the conference showed biodiesel in application.
Volvo Group, together with Mack® Trucks, featured trucks running on renewable fuels, including biodiesel, on the trade show exposition floor.
The truck running on biodiesel was manufactured in Dublin, VA.
President Bush also visited this exhibit, commenting on the "amazing joint venture with Mack and Volvo on these giant trucks that are using biodiesel to power them."
Manning Feraci, National Biodiesel Board VP of Federal Affairs, addressed conference attendees in a session yesterday.
The NBB also held a booth at WIREC. For more information, call Amber Thurlo Pearson at 800-841-5849.

Biodiesel Bush KnOcK!!!!!!!.....................
Let's get to it!
Don’t tax people just for the opportunity to burn our food supply.
I think he’s right...
But it’s going to be a long time before they actually can make it economical.
They need to focus on developing an algae strain that can produce the necessary lipids at low cost.
Tell them.
ANWAR, Gulf and West Coast drilling now you DC political morons!
National Security and the economy remember....
After so many miscues by Jorge, this one is really bad!
Bio fuels are not the answer! Bio fuels are a negative source of energy; it takes more energy to produce and distribute a gallon of it than it can possibly release!
Not Bio fuels in general, just BIODIESEL!...............
BIODIESEL can be made OUTSIDE of the FOOD SUPPLY! This is NOT ETHANOL!..............
Not Bio fuels in general, just BIODIESEL!...............No food needed to make it!..............
Well, I don’t have a problem with it if that’s the case, and if there aren’t subsidies. My beef is with Ethanol mainly.
Now that he’s driven up the price of everything related to corn, he’s going to drive up the price of everything related to vegetable oil with nothing positive to show for it.
But I don’t own an oil burner.
Diesel can be made from COAL, and used to be (Kerosene used to be called Coal Oil). We have more COAL than anything else, and enough to make our diesel economy purr!....I cannot understand why the Coal mining industry and the MINING UNIONS are not beating down the doors of every Congressman trying to get this done!..............
Maybe its a Rovian plot to get us to buy diesel cars and get off the gasoline addiction!...............
I see Diesel in your future...............the near future............
The word on the street is that my mercerdes Sprinter diesel warranty is void if it runs on biodiesel or a blend.
I'd like to see what is in his, friends, family and associates stock porfolio's.(sp?)
Uhhh...
Soybeans are definitely food.
Vegetable oil is made from food.
Any time you displace one crop with another, you decrease the quantity of the displaced crop and increase it's price.
It is a really, really, really bad, arrogant and contemptuous thing for a society to burn food when there are parts of the world where people are starving.
