EESI awards biodiesel bus fleets

February 1, 2006

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), based in Washington, D.C., recently doled out its 2005 National Clean Bus Leader awards. Three of the six award recipients were recognized for exceptional biodiesel use. Medford Township Public School District in Medford, N.J., is using B20 in 62 school buses. Cook-Illinois Corporation in Chicago, Ill., is using biodiesel in 800 of its 1,400 buses. Colorado Springs School Districts 11 and 20 in Colorado Springs, Colo., are using a combination of diesel oxidation catalysts, particulate matter filters and biodiesel to reduce diesel emissions from their fleets. The two districts are working together, allowing them to leverage resources, overcome funding limitations and provide a unique model for other school districts.
