SACRAMENTO, CA – Biodiesel industry leaders have created the California Biodiesel Alliance, a new not-for-profit trade association to promote increased use and production of high quality, renewable biodiesel fuel in California. The founding members of the group are biodiesel feedstock suppliers, producers, fuel marketers and distributors, technology providers, fuel retailers, consumers, and advocates.

“We’re inviting industry and members of the public to join us in unleashing the power of the biodiesel market here in California,” said Alliance Chairman Eric Bowen of Tellurian Biodiesel.

According to Alliance Secretary Doug Smith, of Baker Commodities, “Our goal is to ensure that biodiesel receives favorable treatment by state and federal regulatory agencies.”

CBA offers memberships to biodiesel producers, marketers, and distributors, as well as to companies and individuals who support the industry at the highest level of fuel quality.
