March 18th – National Biodiesel Day

March 18, 2013 |

Today, March 18th, is National Biodiesel Day in the US — celebrating the birthday of Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the diesel engine and a pioneer of biofuels.

According to the Energy Co-op:

“Way back in 1912, Diesel said,”…the use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today, but such oils may become, in the course of time, as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time.”
