Peter Cremer becomes first BQ-9000 certified marketer Another company has validated its quality control measures through the BQ-9000 program. Peter Cremer North America has become the first Certified Marketer under the industry-standard quality program. Peter Cremer, based in Ohio, was already an accredited producer under the voluntary program.
The National Biodiesel Accreditation Program is a cooperative and voluntary fuel quality program adopted by both the National Biodiesel Board and the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association. BQ-9000, www.BQ-9000.org, includes procedures for fuel storage, handling and management aimed at ensuring fuel quality throughout the distribution system. The program creates a comprehensive quality system to help assure biodiesel is consistently produced in accordance with ASTM specifications and maintains its quality all the way to the customer's fuel tank.
"By becoming the first BQ-9000 Certified Marketer, Peter Cremer is demonstrating that ensuring biodiesel quality doesn't stop when the biodiesel leaves the production plant," said Leland Tong, chairman of the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission. Peter Cremer was the first BQ-9000 accredited producer, followed by West Central, Johann Haltermann, Arkansas Operations Eastman Chemical Company, Imperial Western, Ag Processing Inc. and SoyMor Biodiesel.
