GREEN SHUTTLE of Cape Cod |
| BIO-DIESEL 12 PASSENGER VAN Our green cars are very comfortable for 3 passengers. In some instances we can accommodate 4 passengers with limited luggage. We have now purchased a new Ford F350 series 12 passenger luxury van running on domestically sourced biodiesel fuel. We are presently running on soybean sourced biofuel. The farms are located right here in the United States. Providing domestic employment to hard working American Farmers. Below are a few interesting facts provided by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Chemistry Department, quoting Professor George Huber. "Growing Biomass as an energy crop could double the national farm income, from $3 billion to $6 billion per year" Another interesting fact (from the same source) .... "Biofuels are, in effect, carbon dioxide-free. What CO2 is emitted by burning biofuels would later be consumed by further biomass regrowth. So its a net zero emission when you consider the whole life cycle of the process" Consequently, biofuel could reduce domestic carbon-dioxide emissions by 85 percent. And one last interesting note from the same source .... "Potentially the United States could produce about 1.3 billion dry tons of cellulosic biomass per year, or enough to replace four billion barrels of crude oil - more than half the amount Americans burn annually" To read the full article please visit www.UMassAmherstMagazine.com OUR GREEN CARS ARE GREEN IN COLOR ...WHY IS THE BIO-VAN GOLD COLORED? Gold is the color of bio-fuel (actually amber but gold is very metaphoric)... And also very classy (for green weddings and the such). SO WHEN TO RESERVE THE BIO-VAN?
