BNSF train to run B20 trials

September 20, 2010

Opportunity Link Inc., a Havre, Mont.-based economic development agency, has been awarded a $125,000 grant from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. The funding will support a project to develop railroad markets for biodiesel, which includes testing B20 in a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway engine. Two identical BNSF engines will be a part of the one-year project; one fueled with B20, the other with standard diesel. Researchers will periodically dismantle the engines to evaluate the comparative effects of each fuel.
