Thirteen Great Lakes Ships Get Environmental Exemption
(NY) The Wall Street Journal - Thirteen Great Lakes steamships would be exempted from tougher federal air-quality standards under a provision tacked on to a government spending bill by a leading Democratic lawmaker, a move that has prompted protests from environmentalists.
Ship owners who would benefit from the exemption called the provision a common-sense measure that would protect jobs in a region reeling from high unemployment. More
My company developed a biofuel that will solve the problem for the thirteen steamers on the Great Lakes. It is available immediately and costs about the same as the fuel these ships currently use but it is much cleaner burning; it contains no sulfur, produces very low particulate matter and 75% less CO2. This is not a biodiesel, and contains no ethanol, or other products made from food sources.
This fuel will not require an exemption from EPA regulations and it can also be used in low speed diesel engines currently burning heavy fuel oil.
