MAPLEWOOD, NJ, Dec, 5, 2008 –  Woolley Fuel Company, a family based fuel oil company since 1924, serving five New Jersey counties, is celebrating the grand opening of the first public retail biodiesel pump dispenser in the State of New Jersey.  Maplewood’s Mayor Ken Pettis said, “I am proud of the efforts Maplewood’s government, businesses and residents are making to reduce our carbon footprint. Woolley Fuel Company in particular has an 85 year commitment to Maplewood’s past as a township business and now with biodiesel is committed to its green future.”



The biodiesel is being sourced by Sprague Energy Corp., a leading energy supplier at the forefront of clean fuels development and marketing.  Biodiesel is the latest addition to a clean product line that includes ultra low sulfur diesel, bioheat and ethanol fuels. 



Woolley’s decision to partner with Sprague is a reflection of its desire to offer a premium quality fuel. Sprague was the first petroleum terminal operator and marketer to earn BQ-9000 Certified Marketer status under the National Biodiesel Board’s (NBB) BQ-9000 quality control program.  Every gallon of Sprague biodiesel meets the stringent product specifications of The American Society of Testing and Manufacturing (ASTM), endorsed by the NBB.
