TDOT and Gov. Bredesen with some green announcements

Gov. Phil Bredesen announced Monday that 40 retail stations are now offering some combination of biofuels in Tennessee. Statewide there are now 22 retail locations offering E85 (ethanol) and 28 retail locations offering B20 (biodiesel). Many of the pumps were funded through the BioTENN Green Island Corridor grant program...

...TDOT Commissioner Gerald Nicely added, "About 90,000 Tennesseans own flex fuel vehicles and could begin using ethanol today, while B20 can be used in any diesel engine with little to no modification. This is a great time to consider trying biofuels."


E85 means that there the fuel is 85% ethanol and B20 means that fuel is 20% biodiesel.
