Canada's capital fleet using biodiesel

September 18, 2009

Biodiesel will be a part of Ottawa, Ontario's new greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction strategy, which will commit the city to curtailing emissions by 30 percent within the next three years. City officials reported that the use of ethanol and biodiesel in the municipal fleet will result in GHG reductions of 3,000 metric tons per year. "From the use of alternate fuels to a wide range of fuel-efficient vehicles, the City of Ottawa will be making significant progress in reducing its environmental impact," said Mayor Larry O'Brien. The city's public works department further observed that the Green Municipal Fleet Plan has the potential to reduce fuel consumption and costs.
