Tri-State Biodiesel's triple play: fashion, tribute, heating

摘要

In September, New York City's Iincoln Center, one of the most well-known arts and cultural institutions in the world, was fashion central as the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, New York City's single largest media event, kicked into high gear. Designers from across the globe rolled out their spring 2014 lines sported by supermodels strutting down runways whose lights were powered by B20. Dehran Duckworth, a managing partner at Tri-State Biodiesel, said this was the first yeai Tri-State Biodiesel won the contract to supply the Aggreko pic generators and temperature control equipment for the virtual "tent city" with its 20 percent biodiesel fuel. "It was an uphill push getting them to agree to run on B20," Duckworth tells Biodiesel Magazine. Bidding against other suppliers, Duckworth said Tri-State Biodiesel was able to hit the right price point since New York State only taxes the petroleum portion of a B20 blend.
