Railway firm to trial biodiesel in Montana

On 17 July this year a biodiesel project commenced that will see BNSF Railway test Montana, US-made biodiesel produced by biofuels manufacturer Earl Fisher Biofuels.

20% of the fuel will be blended with conventional diesel and used in one of BNSF Railway’s switch engines at the Havre Depot.

Throughout the year Montana State University-Northern’s BioEnergy Center will test the biodiesel against one diesel powered switch train.

Earl Fisher produces biodiesel from Montana-grown oil seeds such as camelina, canola and safflower seeds.
