Oregon’s firs t biofuel station.
Made possible by Lottery funds
More and more Oregonians are choosing biodiesel, bioethanol and other bio-blended fuels
for their cars and trucks So the people at SeQuential Biofuels had an idea. They wanted
to build the country's first all-biofuel filling station on a site in South Eugene. Thanks
to funding help from the Oregon Lottery *, their idea became reality. Today, the station is
a showplace for clean, renewable, domestically-produced energy-not just for Oregon.
\ but for all of America. To find out more, visit ltDoesGoodThings.org.
