In a speech at the National Biodiesel Board Annual Conference today, Deb Morrissett, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs for the Chrysler Group, encouraged the biodiesel industry to continue their development of a national standard for B20 as automobile manufacturers focus more resources on producing diesel vehicles capable of running on the fuel.

“To speed the adoption of biodiesel, and to help harness and direct the diverse research and investment efforts going into its development, we need to expedite setting a national fuel specification for biodiesel, just as we have for other fuels,” said Morrissett. “I’m looking forward to the time when anyone can fuel up with B20, but we’re not there yet.”

Morrissett also promised that more vehicles capable of running on the renewable fuel are on the horizon: “I want to encourage you to stay tuned — because, drawing on the diesel expertise of DaimlerChrysler and partners like Cummins, we intend to keep building our diesel leadership in the years to come.”
