		Cold Lake, AB -- Starting September 8, 2005, 4 Wing Cold Lake will be the first Canadian military establishment to take advantage of a new technology to help protect the environment by introducing a biodiesel fuel trial program.
		Drew Craig, 4 Wing Environmental Officer, says that lessons learned from the program will be shared within National Defence and offered to other organizations interested in starting their own biodiesel trial.
		Although the short term benefits will be mostly on the environment facet of the program, it is expected that this program will become a long-term cost-saving program, as the price of renewable energy is not tied in with the cost of petrol.
