In recognition of its work in reducing motor vehicle emissions and supporting the Illinois economy, the B20 Club welcomes Al Warren Oil Co. Inc. as its newest member.
Sponsored by the Illinois Soybean Association checkoff program, in partnership with the American Lung Association in Illinois, the B20 Club recognizes Illinois-based fleets and municipalities using biodiesel blends of 20 percent or more for at least six months of the year. Al Warren Oil uses 100,000 gallons of B20 in 39 fleet vehicles each year, estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by the same amount as planting 4,130 trees.
