Biodiesel is growing in the Midwest, and Illinois is a primary example. The folks accelerating biodiesel programs just south of us also want to see Wisconsin expand biodiesel usage. Stephanie Hoff was recently in Illinois and Chicagoland with Clean Fuels Alliance America, looking at the whole chain of biodiesel production from the beans getting dropped off at the plant to riding on a boat on the Chicago River that runs on biodiesel. The state has tax incentives for using biodiesel, and it’s also helping advance sustainability goals. Pete Probst is the president of Indigenous Energy, which is a renewable energy consultant, working with groups like the Illinois Soybean Association and the Chicago Park District. Pete loves renewable diesel so much, he rigged up his own ride back in the day to run on used cooking oil.
