JB Hunt’s Big Rigs Are Big Boost For Algae
Here's the best thing I've seen today. Obviously we're big fans of algae derived biofuels. Wether you ferment it or milk it, algae's got a very good looking future as a source of energy.
The rather large trucking company J.B. Hunt has announced it's commitment to filling its fleet with a blend including SunEco Energy's biodiesel comprised of 100% natural algae oil and old fashioned petroleum diesel.
They tested the blend and found an 82% reduction in particulate emissions and no loss of power, and no loss of profits. In fact currently it's less expensive to use the greener fuel combination.
Score one for algae!
