Iowa launches B99 biodiesel pump for fleet use

In Iowa, Iowa Biodiesel Board and Iowa Soybean Association joined Pilot Travel Centers, PepsiCo and Optimus Technologies to celebrate the launch of a new B99 biodiesel pump for fleets at Pilot’s Des Moines travel center—one of only a few in the nation dispensing almost pure biodiesel to commercial trucking fleets.

IBB and ISA contributed $25,000 in soybean checkoff funding to support the project, made possible in part through the Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program. The program helps fuel retailers upgrade their equipment to accommodate higher blends of biofuels, and its support remains essential to expanding access to homegrown energy solutions.
