Food distributor goes biodiesel (San Francisco)

Food distributor U.S. Foodservice-San Francisco is powering its delivery fleet with biodiesel.

The company’s 136 tractors and 148 trailers started using a fuel blended with 5 percent biodiesel made from soybean oil.

US Foodservice said using the blended fuel will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 333 metric tons annually, about the same as taking 65 cars off the road or planting 3,000 trees annually.
