Arkansas Fuel Production Standards
Biofuels Use Requirement
All diesel-powered motor vehicles, light trucks, and equipment owned or leased by a state agency are required to operate using diesel fuel that contains a minimum of 2% biofuel by volume. For the purpose of this requirement, biofuel includes: biodiesel; renewable diesel; and other renewable, biodegradable mono alkyl ester combustible fuel derived from biomass. Waivers to the 2% biofuel standards for state agency vehicles may be granted if the fuel is not available in certain geographic area, if the fuel price is at least $0.15 cents more per gallon then the petroleum equivalent, or if compliance with the standard is not otherwise economically feasible. The Arkansas Bureau of Standards will work to ensure fuel quality standards. (Reference Arkansas Code 15-13-101, 15-13-102, and 15-13-202 to 15-13-205)
