Hi,
Wanted to let you know that my company Green Way Fuels inc is the first retail supplier of biodiesel in Alberta. We are set to open our first station in Turner Valley, Alberta this October. We will be offering a delivery service of B100 into the Calgary area but that won't be for a few months yet. Feel free to contact me and visit our website at GREEN WAY FUELS.
Cheers,
Jaimey Farnese

Wanted to let you know we officially opened Alberta's first retail station on December 13, 2008 with a temperature of -37C! We had fleet vehicles and regular trucks fill up from then on without complication. In fact we have received comments from a few customers telling us that there trucks started better, the got better mileage and out of all the pumps in the area ours was not only the fastest, (fill about 1000L in ten min) but our pumps were never frozen up! We have extremely strict blending protocol to optimize cold flow properties and in the warmer months we will offer blends from B5 to B100. Recently we've added a delivery service to our company which allows users to have quantities from 100L to 15,000L delivered per time on site.
All in all we are very excited to be the first to offer ASTM quality, Alberta made biodiesel to the everyone!
I will be on this forum on a regular basis from now on!
Take Care and Drive.Green!!

I was out in Turner Valley a couple weekends ago, I saw the Greenway Fuels bio station, bio diesel was selling for $0.845/L. At the time, dino diesel was selling for $0.724 at the Flying J. I'd like to see the biodiesel market take off, but the price differential is the opposite of what I'd like to see. Unfortunately in our northern climate, I don't think Biodiesel will be as successful as it can be in places like Texas where they have almost no weather that could potentially gel up fuel.

I can't understand why bio is at least 10 cents a litre more...Those dudes in Sask..I think its Milligan bio tech out of Foam Lake sells bio at some stupid price of $1.70 a litre...This was the price I got at Edmonton Blackout days....Thats ok...I make my own and have ran it for 4 years...Unless these companies are buying there canola from Superstore there is no reason it should be more that regular diesel.....I grow up in Sask and know what the poor farmers are getting for there canola.....

Its not worth to pay more for Bio because its way cheaper to make bio than pulling regular oil out of the ground.I got the show and dance form Milligan....They are full of it...Bio diesel is not some miracle fuel...Its been around for over 40 years.Learn the process and make your own...

I have done some reading up on how to make Biodiesel on the web, found a great resource. One of these days I might start to make my own, but I have neither the time nor space to invest in it right now. Biodiesel has actually been around for 100 years; Rudolph Diesel built his first engine to run on a form of biodiesel.
