College of the Atlantic (Bar Harbor, ME) - B20 biodiesel has powered their 40-foot research vessel for about 10 years. Two offshore research stations - Mount Desert Rock (marine mammal research facility) and Great Duck Island (ormithological research station) are completely alternatively powered and B100 is used to power generators and other equipment on the islands. Beach Hill Farm, an 80-acre organic farm owned by the college, also uses B20 in two tractors.
Colorado College (Colorado Springs, CO) - Colorado College began using B20 to power its diesel fleet in 2005. In 2007, the College began purchasing B20 exclusively to fuel diesel buses, vans, mowers and tractors, approximately 10,000 gallons per year.
Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA) - Dickinson College not only uses the 50 to 150 gallons of biodiesel students make weekly out of used fryer oil from several food services to power campus lawn mowers, garbage truck and farm equipment, but byproducts are being used in a composting research project at the school's organic farm and have been used to make soap that was sold in the campus bookstore. The school has more than doubled its biodiesel production capacity growing from 20-gallons to 54-gallon batches.
Evergreen State College (Olympia, WA) - Evergreen established a biodiesel project on campus that converts used vegetable oil into biodiesel to power the school's farm tractors.
Harvard University (Cambridge, MA) - Harvard introduced the use of biodiesel and thus began a significant step forward into their path to sustainability in 2004. Harvard's biodiesel fleet has continued to grow as manufacturers expand their applications, and over five and a half years, Harvard purchased more than 325,000 gallons of B20 for 75+ vehicles ranging from shuttle buses and solid waste trucks to John Deere tractors and dining services delivery vehicles.
Middlebury College (Middlebury, VT) - Middlebury College uses approximately 150,000 gallons per year of B20 in boilers to heat buildings that are not connected to the central campus heating system.
Northeastern University (Boston, MA) - Northeastern operates a B5 pump on campus and their buses and utility vehicles run on biodiesel blends.
University of California (Berkeley) - Berkeley pioneered the use of B50 in one of its fleet of six garbage trucks in 2006, and hopes to convert at least three more to B50. The campus's dining facility also sells its waste oil for recycling into biodiesel.
University of New Hampshire (Durham) - UNH-Durham worked with the New Hampshire DOT to coordinate the first B20 ultra-low sulfur fuel supply at any state-operated fueling facility. In 2006, the facility at the UNH campus opened and in 2007 all diesel transit vehicles switched to B20. In addition, UNH Wildcat Transit took possession of the first of a planned fleet of eight full-size Wildcat Transit buses running exclusively on B20. In 2009, UNH completed the transition to B20 in all post-1990 non-transit diesel vehicles. Since introduction of B20 in 74% of its diesel fleet, UNH has reduced petroleum consumption by over 25,000 gallons and has seen an estimated emissions savings of 580 tons of CO2.
University of Washington (Seattle) - The University of Washington-Salem has switched its motor pool fleet of trucks and buses to B5 and hopes to increase to B20.
