Our new story
This redesigned website seeks to provide the latest developments from the front lines of the sustainable energy movement. The mission of this site is to encourage a high level discussion on all viable alternative energy solutions and to serve as an educational platform, providing current news articles/videos on a range of post-fossil fuel energy concepts.
I would like to invite those interested in being a part of our nation’s sustainable alternative fuel transition to join this movement by setting up a personal profile at www.conservfuel.com/members. If you are inclined to become a content contributing member, please email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with a brief explanation of your reason for wanting to participate in this discussion.
In 2007, President Obama made a stop at Conserv Fuel in West Los Angeles on his campaign trail to praise me in my efforts to make alternative fuels mainstream. I would like to remind everyone of the words that Obama spoke that day standing in front of the Conserv Fuel pumps, “this is how change happens, real change, it’s starts from the bottom up, not from the top down.” Remember, change starts with each of us, it is our responsibility to spread the word and encourage others to educate themselves on the issues facing the birth of a new post-fossil fuel energy era.
The service station
Founded with the intention of making alternative fuels available to the general public, Conserv Fuel intended to be more than just a service station. The original idea was to give customers a choice between running their engines on high blend biofuels and/or regular petrol fuels, with the hopes of eventually providing other forefront sustainable alternative refueling options. I believe that given the choice, many motorists would make the switch to using alternative fuels such as high blends of biofuel or other sustainable alternative, if these fuels were as conveniently accessible and affordable as petroleum fuels are today.
In 2007, Conserv Fuel in West Los Angeles became and remained the only fueling station from San Diego to Northern California selling biodiesel (B99) to the public 24 hours/day 7 days/week. In January of 2008, Conserv Fuel continued with this vision by opening only the second ethanol (E85) pump in the entire state of California.
By the end of 2007, due to insufficient funding, I was forced to forfeit this one station in Brentwood to Dansk Investment Group. I arranged an agreement where upon, Dansk would continue selling the biofuels in exchange for licensing the use of the Conserv Fuel brand name. Just to make clear, this website is owned by Kristopher Moller, the founder/owner of the Conserv Fuel brand which has a licensing agreement on the retail brand with Dansk.
Over the last couple of years, I have worked closely with Dansk to ensure a consistent supply of reliable quality assured ethanol (E85) and biodiesel (B99) to the Southern California region. In spite of the difficulties associated with supplying these alternative fuels, the dedication of Conserv Fuel’s conscious consumers enabled the company to continue this biodiesel program until June 2009.
Recently, the California State Water Board submitted new regulations in regards to the storing of biodiesel in underground storage tanks. These new regulations states that due to the lack of third party certification, biodiesel at any blend higher than B5 is strictly prohibited. After over two years of faithfully serving as the only B99 pump in the Southern California market, in June of 2009 Conserv Fuel was forced to switch its biodiesel (B99) pumps back to diesel #2.
Although the state has stopped Dansk from selling biodiesel at Conserv Fuel stations, I would like to state that Conserv Fuel is not giving up. Please support us in our fight for renewables by clicking on the Member tab and becoming a member.
