A trucking campaign promoting biodiesel fuel to easily lower carbon emissions by the state soybean farmers has been such a success in raising awareness it may be repeated.
For four months ending in April, nine delivery trucks wrapped with green-colored ads saying “Biodiesel, cleaner fuel for Nebraska” traveled through the state’s largest cities and across Interstate 80 between North Platte, Kearney and Grand Island.
“We received many positive comments and pictures from folks of the trucks out on the roads of Lincoln, Omaha and in the western part of the state. We wanted to inform drivers in Lincoln, Omaha and those driving on I-80 in Nebraska of the benefits of biodiesel regarding health, the economy, the environment and benefits to farmers,” said Tom Hoxmeier, communications coordinator at the nonprofit Nebraska Soybean Board.
“[The fuel’s] compatibility with existing diesel engines and infrastructure makes it an easily adoptable option for the trucking industry, facilitating a transition toward cleaner and greener transportation solutions,” he added.
