Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance Seeking Comments on Sustainability Standards
19 August 2008
The Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance (SBA) has released a draft of national Baseline Practices for Sustainability (BPS) in Biodiesel for public review.
The 24-page BPS document is available for 45 days beginning 19 August 2008 at http://www.fuelresponsibly.org/. This is the first national effort at developing biodiesel sustainability practices through a stakeholder work group process.
Over the past year, alliance members developed definitions and standards for sustainability in three key areas: environmental, social and economic concerns. The four work groups (Feedstock, Production, Distribution, End Users) were represented by family farmers, environmental NGOs, representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency, fuel distributors, biodiesel producers, academics, trucking fleets and renewable energy consultants.
After the 45-day open forum period, the SBA will incorporate public feedback and changes to the BPS document. The draft document will then be discussed and ratified at the Sustainable Biodiesel Stakeholders Summit 2008 on 17 September in Austin, Texas.

No mention is made of ultrafine, or small particle pollution from this fuel.
