The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority has today congratulated Queenstown on launching New Zealand’s first public biodiesel consortium and refuelling facility.
“It’s very apt that Queenstown, which is well-known internationally as an attraction for tourists looking for a clean green experience, should be the first in the country to provide a renewable fuel blend for local businesses such as tourism operators,” EECA chief executive Mike Underhill said.
(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).
