Currently few places, but with Kyoto Accord, we are supposed to have at least 500 million litres available yearly by 2010 (we'll see I guess). Myself, i have to go to Seattle to get it, but rumours are it will be publically available in Southern Ontario soon...

Yeah...rumours, rumours. I have been waiting patiently since March. I get in touch with the guys who should be opening up a station from time to time, but haven't heard too much on the positive end. I am sure they will get one going, but seems that they didn't realize what is involved or soemthing like that. They seem to have their act together, but just have problems getting the station going.
Also supposed to get a huge production plant up an running just outside Toronto later this year. 60 million liters per year if I remember correctly. Hopefully that will bring more interest for the Bio-D around here. As far as I know, the only places to get bio-d around the toronto area are from your own backyard (make it) or from a co-op. Haven't really searched one out, though, if they even exist.

I think that BD facility is going to be in Guelph, which is good for me.
May only be an R&D thing though.

Actually, it's in Oakville, and yes, it's not selling to the public yet.

VWDerf - Are the CBC Market Place Guys going to go into the current state of BioDiesel production when the show airs?
Any word from them yet on when the program will be?

As far as I can find out no retail outlets yet. But there is at least one new regional distributor who will do home deliveries coming on line. They are in the Southern Ontario/Quebec area.

Not sure if you're aware but there is a place in Acme (east of Bellingham on Mt. Baker Highway) selling B10. I read that McEvoy Oil Co. in Bellingham is their supplier. I don't know if McEvoy will sell directly to the public but it might be worth a try.

Just to update my previous post, they are selling B20 not B10 and the station is in Deming not Acme. Below is the press release from Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition. It still isn't clear whether or not McEvoy will sell B100 to the general public. It would save you Vancouver guys quite a bit of driving if they did.
