Task force set up to determine future of New Mexico’s B5 policy

In New Mexico, the question surrounding the state’s long-standing but never-implemented B5 blending mandate is set to be decided by a task force. The state agriculture department has sent out the first letter to the task force’s members who are set to meet for the first time on Aug. 8. The multi-stakeholder task force will look at pricing triggers, and the availability of biodiesel, the latter of which the petroleum industry claims has been the main challenge to implementing the blend.
