This year the National Biodiesel Board released the second edition of
the Biodiesel Success Stories publication. Five years ago, NBB was
determined to identify and publish stories of prominent influencers that
were making a difference in an industry that required strong leadership
to ensure success both individually and for the industry.
“When an industry evolves, it does so because of the sum of its parts,”
said Paul Nazzaro, supply chain manager for NBB and president of Nazzaro
Group LLC. “In the case of biodiesel’s remarkable growth for the past 25
years, it’s due to the countless individuals, leadership organizations
and companies that aligned and worked cooperatively.”
The criteria for recognition were leaders who took the path less
traveled, who weren’t discouraged at the first sign of disappointment,
and those who believed biodiesel deserved its rightful place in the
national supply chain. Each gallon of biodiesel consumed starts as a
feedstock that ultimately becomes an ASTM fuel. Behind these gallons
were highly passionate people prepared to sweat the details to ensure
quality.
“The quote emblazoned on the cover of our newest publication states it
best—‘Innovators are at their very heart visionaries who also have
determination, dedication, passion, and motivation,’” said NBB CEO
Donnell Rehagen. “We hope to see more individuals continue to prove
their role in the biodiesel industry’s ongoing journey to pursue
increased percentages in the supply chain.”
Each person spotlighted in the publication has played an important role
in advancing America’s advanced biofuel growth.
“Without these individuals, and many others like them in our industry,
the pages of biodiesel history would be left blank,” Nazzaro said.
“Through their unique stories, generations of future renewable fuel
pioneers can be motivated to not settle for the status quo.”
The NBB is continuously thankful for the hard work and dedication of
those who make the industry what it is today and will continue to look
for the next success stories. You can find our Biodiesel Success Stories
