Hi All, Has anyone had a project where the owner had lawn maintenance equipment that ran on biodiesel? Could this count as lower-impace alternatives to gas-powered equipment? Thanks for any insight!

Sara, based on other LEED credits that recognize biodiesel as a renewable energy source, I would think that it would be accepted here as an environmentally preferable option.
