Mr. Mike Robertson

Mike Robertson, the diesel mechanics instructor from the College of Alameda, tested our vehicles on an opacity meter.He calculated that when we used a blend of 20 percent biodiesel, we reduced our particulate emissions by 24 percent.

Michael Robertson, head of the diesel mechanics department at College of Alameda, is a star in his field, a fact that is little known.

Mike Robertson, the diesel mechanics instructor from the College of Alameda, tested our vehicles on an opacity meter.He calculated that when we used a blend of 20 percent biodiesel, we reduced our particulate emissions by 24 percent.When we used 100 percent biodiesel, we reduced particulates by 84 percent.

Based on standard figures published by the Southwest Research Institute (SRI), the Ecology Center has already prevented the release of one ton of particulate emissions into the air.

Based on standard figures published by the Southwest Research Institute, the Ecology Center has already prevented the release of one ton of particulate emissions into the air by switching to biodiesel.
