October 1, 2004
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority has awarded Mirabito Fuel Group, a third generation New York energy marketing firm, more than $142,000 in funding to install biodiesel fueling infrastructure at two of its existing New York locations. The company is installing a 15,000-gallon B100 tank ,and a loading and unloading dispensing system at its Sidney terminal. Funding will also be used to purchase 8,500 gallons of B100 for that location. In Oneonta, a 4,000-gallon tank will be installed for the storage of B20. A fuel dispenser and pump will also be installed there. It is estimated that approximately 38,000 gallons of B20 will be sold to fleets and citizens with diesel vehicles at this site during its first year of operation.
"Biodiesel is a very easy way for our country to lessen its dependence on foreign oil-producing countries and at the same time offer a more environmentally- friendly fuel for consumers to use," said Joseph Mirabito, president of Mirabito Fuel Group.
