Kyoto Fuels – BISP: Biodiesel Integration Strategy Pilot
|
The Biodiesel Integration Strategy Pilot (BISP) is a one year study monitoring the fleet wide integration of a B10 blend (10% biodiesel, 90% petroleum diesel). The BISP was conceptualized by Kyoto Fuels Corporation and JK Trucking (A Division of J. Koliaska Enterprises Ltd.) to demonstrate the feasibility of biodiesel in the Canadian climate.
