Biofuel Test

January 14, 2010

Washington College teamed up with Tri Gas & Oil Company out of Federalsburg, MD, and New Generation Biofuels from Columbia, MD, to test NGB's biofuel in one of the College's boilers. The College uses approximately 100,000 gallons of #2 heating oil (diesel fuel) in one of its boilers per year, so it could reduce its carbon footprint by using the biofuel instead. The test indicated a reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions by 51% compared to the #2 heating oil. There are no carbon monoxide or sulphur emissions from the biofuel. The biofuel is plant-oil based and can be washed up with soap and water.
