Safeway Inc. today is scheduled to unveil its truck fleet's conversion to B20 biodiesel fuel during an official announcement that includes state and legislative leaders.

For the last 30 days, the company has worked to convert all 79 of its Arizona trucks to fuel that is 20 percent biodiesel made from domestically manufactured virgin soybean oil.

The conversion will reduce Safeway's carbon dioxide gas output by 3,603 metric tons — equivalent to 780 passenger cars not being driven for one year, said Nikki Daly, company spokeswoman.

The company also has plans in the next 90 days to convert the diesel fuel pump at its Broadway and South Campbell Avenue fuel station to biodiesel for sale, Daly said.
