摘要：	This document reviews recent literature regarding the usage of biodiesel and biodiesel blend fuel in on-road applications. The report describes some of the principal characteristics of biodiesel and usage experience in and near the State of Montana. Several studies are summarized regarding biodiesel's effects on engine performance and warranties. Storage, handling and transportation requirements are also discussed. The emissions-related impacts of biodiesel on several pollutants are quantified, along with potential effects of these impacts on the state and vehicle users within the state. The legislative environment regarding biodiesel and existing motor fuel taxes - at a Federal level and in other states - is reviewed. Considerations regarding fuel cost and domestic productive capacity are discussed. The report concludes that most technical questions regarding biodiesel appear to be satisfactorily answered; the primary obstacles limiting broader biodiesel implementation relate to cost and user acceptance.
