Montana Legislature Addresses Camelina Biodiesel

A new bill in the Montana Legislature aims to make it easier for Montana farmers and ranchers to produce biodiesel fuel from oil-seed crops like camelina and canola.House Bill 415 would provide regulation for special fuel users who produce biodiesel fuel.

At a press conference on Monday, farmers spoke in favor of the bill. MT State Representative Margaret McDonald (D-Billings), the sponsor of the bill, says producing biodiesel will increase energy efficiency and income in the state: "We need to go in and work on our Montana law and amend it so that people can begin to do this in their communities and really make a difference."
