Is biodiesel ever used in heavy machinery, such as construction?
Sure, any diesel engine is a potential biodiesel powered engine. For example: motor graders, dump trucks, off-road vehicles, high lifts, pull-behind message boards, tractors, bulldozers, generators, snow blowers, chippers, road sweepers, road rollers, compactors, backhoes, trash packers, stump grinders, etc. For more details you can see a spreadsheet of over 675 pieces of equipment used in our National Parks. (Note the items in that spreadsheet from Biscayne National Park and Everglades National Park.) Q: Anything else you’d like to add? A: We’ll be at the SCPA Progressive Fest in Merritt Island on July 29, 2006.
