Earl Fisher Biofuels

Earl Fisher BioFuels LLP., is a partnership between Brett Earl and Logan Fisher. Brett and Logan are both forth generation Montana farmers. They are concerned about the agriculture economy, but hopeful for their small communities and state. Brett and Logan have education and experience in: production agriculture, chemical engineering, sales, marketing, finance and management and have set out to use these skills for the betterment of their community in and around Chester. The mission at Earl Fisher BioFuels is to create economic growth and employment opportunities by building a biodiesel production facility. This will in turn create a self sustaining industry by creating a market for oilseed crops that can be grown locally, converted to fuel locally, and consumed locally. Their long term plan isef to duplicate the process in other small communities throughout the state, making the Chester facility the benchmark and training facility for all future locations. The final production goal for this location will be 1,000,000 gallons per year. They have acquired and installed biodiesel production and storage equipment and are in the process of acquiring oilseed crushing equipment which will be installed in Summer/Fall of 2007. Earl and Fisher are committed to producing a high quality, ASTM-6751 certified B100 to be used as a blending stock. In order to ensure quality control of their product they have just finished installation of an in house lab were Brett Earl (chemical engineer) will formulate and test fuel as well as conduct research and development trials of new products.

Why USe Biodiesel ?

• If you can grown your own diesel fuel, you dont need to buy it from someone else. Biodiesel can help reduce our dependance on crude oil from other countries. Every 5 gallons of B20 use in your vehicles replaces .75 gallons of crude oil. Montanans burn approximately 428 million gallons of petroleum diesel each year. If we used B20 instead, we could cut the need for imported rude oil by about 64 million gallons per year. And thats just in Montana! Imagine the impact if we applied that savings across our nation where we burn some 33 billion gallons of diesel a year in on-highway use. In addition, biodiesel creates excellent economic development opportunites for Americas farmers by creating markets for crops used to produce biodiesel.
• Biodiesel can be a great health benefit to our kids. Several recent independent studies on school buses have indicated that children who ride on buses to school face up to 8 times greater exposure to toxic diesel exhust than if they walked. The Environmental Protection Agency says kids are the most susceptible to dangerous pollutants in diesel exhaust yet must ride diesel-powered buses for nine months each year. Many school bus operations around the country have begun to use B20 fuel in an effort to reduce the harmful effect on kids who breathe diesel exhaust.
• Biodiesel can extend the life of diesel engines because it is more lubrication than petroleum diesel fuel. Biodiesel contains 11% oxygen, which means that even in blend such as B20, it assists in the combustion of hydrocarbons. Biodiesel reduces air pollution and greenhouse gases. The exhaust from biodiesel smells much better than diesel exhaust plus the black soot level is reduced.
