A summary of the University of Idaho conference commercialization of biodiesel--establishment of engine warranties
- Univ. of Idaho, Moscow, ID (United States)
The University of Idaho, Department of Agricultural Engineering with assistance from The National Center for Advanced Transportation, The PNW and Alaska Regional Bioenergy Program, The Idaho Department of Water Resources Energy Division and the ASAE T-11, Energy Committee sponsored an invited, focused workshop on Commercialization of Biodiesel, Establishment of Engine Warranties. Participants were invited from all segments of the Biodiesel industry but engine manufacturer`s and users were particularly targeted. Representatives from Detroit Diesel, Navistar, Cummins, Mercedes Benz, the National Biodiesel Board, the Austrian Biodiesel Industry, Link Transportation, Spokane Transit plus other interested research workers and individuals participated in the conference. The conference had two goals (1) development of a brief statement on the current status of the effect of Biodiesel on Engine Warranties (2) development of a strategic plan for making Biodiesel a recognized fuel acceptable by engine manufacturers for use in their engines. This paper will summarize the presentations of the conference, will discuss the draft statement on where we are today on warranty for use of Biofuel and the issues related to warranty which the engine manufacturer`s and users developed as part of the conference. A complete proceedings of the warranty conference is available from the National Center for Advanced Transportation Technology at the University of Idaho.
