Biodiesel Plant Opens In Berlin

 

Maryland gets its first biodiesel plant today with the opening of a production facility on Route 50 in Berlin. It's being operated by James Warren, the owner of Cropper Oil and Gas. He says he already has orders for a half million gallons of the fuel. The mix is 80 percent diesel fuel and 20 percent soybean oil. The fuel can be used to power diesel engines or most oil home-heating systems. Advocates say it's less toxic and cleaner burning.
