New Mexico Renewable Fuel Mandate
Biodiesel Blend Mandate
After July 1, 2010, all diesel fuel sold to state agencies, political subdivisions of the state, and public schools for use in operating on-road motor vehicles must contain at least 5% biodiesel (B5). After July 1, 2012, all diesel fuel sold to consumers for use in on-road motor vehicles must be B5. The Director of the New Mexico Department of Agriculture and Secretary of the Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department may suspend these requirements for up to six months if there are insufficient amounts of biodiesel available or if the price of biodiesel significantly exceeds the price of diesel fuel for at least two months. (Reference New Mexico Statutes 57-19-28 and 57-19-29)
