Biodiesel Access Now is an educational project of the Southern California Biodiesel Users Group. Through this program we hope that our members can educate themselves, our public officials and others on the importance of keeping access to biodiesel, specifically B99.9 and B100 open to consumers in California. The first necessary step is to level the playing field and allow the same variance for B99.9/B100 as is now provided for biodiesel blends up to B20.
