East Tennessee isn’t the only segment of the state revving up for the race to provide plant-based transportation fuel.
A couple of weeks ago, Tennessee officials announced that ClearFuels Technology, a Hawaiian biofuels firm, and Hughes Hardwood International had signed a memorandum of understanding that ClearFuels would build a biorefinery for production of diesel or jet fuel at Hughes’ manufacturing facility in Collinwood, Tenn., about 110 miles southwest of Nashville.
(The success of the biodiesel fuel industry relies heavily on biodiesel testing <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s32Ke2VzrqU>, not only at the production level but at the consumer level, where degraded fuel may cause engine failures. Of major concern to diesel and biodiesel users is the very real possibility that water has contaminated their fuel. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YcczdvPyAk). The potential catastrophic impact of this problem is discussed at length in this video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lh4qhXc_5s&feature=youtube_gdata.
