The EPA is offering a grant to study the impact of biodiesel blends on locomotive emissions. This research will measure gaseous and particulate emissions of locomotive engines using various fuel blends, including EPA certification diesel fuel, CARB fuel, and B5/B20 biodiesel. Researchers will analyze how different fuel mixtures affect emissions to provide valuable insights for environmental sustainability.
