Vehicle and fuel availability
Biodiesel is being tested with some vehicle fleets, but it is not yet commercially available in Canada except for a handful of retail sites in Ontario and British Columbia.
Toronto Hydro and Rothsay/Laurenco fleet vehicles are currently using biodiesel concentrations of 5 percent (B-5) and 20 percent (B-20). Saskatoon Transit Services and Société de transport de Montréal (STM) are also testing B-5 and B-20 in city buses. Technological advances in biodiesel production may reduce its costs.
Because biodiesel is available in liquid form, similar to petroleum diesel, vehicles are refuelled in the same manner.
