Oregon's biodiesel mandate kicks in
Image of a country road.
The 2009 Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 3463 immediately activating Oregon's Renewable Fuel Standard to blend diesel fuel with a minimum of 2% by volume biodiesel.

As a result, all diesel fuel sold in Oregon must contain at least 2% biodiesel. This requirement does not apply to diesel fuel sold for railroad locomotives, marine engines, or home heating oil.

Current topics
Public hearing
There will be a public hearing to adopt permanent administrative rules to implement Oregon's 2% biodiesel blending renewable fuel standard statewide and to exempt 91 octane or higher gasoline from the 10% by volume ethanol blending mandate.

Tuesday, December 1, 2009, 10:00 am
Oregon Department of Agriculture, Hearings room (downstairs in basement)
635 Capitol Street NE, Salem, OR 97301
Biodiesel troubleshooting hotline
The National Biodiesel Board provides biodiesel users with a toll free number to troubleshoot fuel issues in the event that their fuel distributor is unable to assist them with issues.
Where to find gas without ethanol
Some specific applications are exempt from the mandate to use ethanol blended gasoline. The Oregon State Marine Board provides a list on their website of where to find non-blended fuel.
