In 2004, the BC Municipal Fleet Managers Group (MFMG), representing 40 municipalities in Vancouver’s lower Mainland and Southern BC, undertook a biodiesel pilot project as a strategy to create awareness of the benefits of biodiesel.

The municipalities of Burnaby, Delta, North Vancouver, Richmond, the City of Vancouver and Whistler participated in the controlled study, agreeing to operate two vehicles on conventional diesel while running two similar vehicles on biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel was supplied by Canadian Biofuels Technology, Inc in 1000 litre totes in B100 (100% biodiesel) form.
