Indianapolis Transportation Club joins B20 Club of Indiana as new Affiliate Member

The B20 Club of Indiana is pleased to welcome the Indianapolis Transportation Club (ITC) as its newest Affiliate Member. As a long-standing organization dedicated to fostering networking, education and empowerment across the transportation, logistics and supply chain industries, ITC brings a valuable perspective and influential voice to the B20 Club’s mission of promoting local clean fleet solutions.

Established in the heart of Indiana, ITC supports individuals and businesses throughout the central Indiana region who are committed to advancing professional excellence in transportation and related fields. By joining the B20 Club of Indiana, ITC underscores its commitment to promoting efficient transportation solutions — including the use of cleaner fuels like biodiesel and renewable diesel made in Indiana.

“The Indianapolis Transportation Club recognizes the importance of connecting our industry’s future with domestically produced clean transportation solutions,” said Matthew Gaddis, president of ITC and operations manager for B20 Club member Al Warren Oil. “By partnering with the B20 Club of Indiana, ITC aims to amplify the role of clean fuels in achieving both environmental and economic benefits for fleets and businesses across our state.”

The American Lung Association founded the B20 Club of Indiana with the Indiana Soybean Alliance (ISA), the state’s soybean checkoff program. Bailey Arnold, director of healthy air solutions with the American Lung Association, praised the new affiliation. “We’re excited to welcome ITC to the B20 Club of Indiana,” he said. “Their engagement within the transportation sector and dedication to educational outreach and scholarships perfectly align with our goals to expand the adoption of clean fuels and reduce transportation emissions across Indiana.”

Biodiesel and renewable diesel are cleaner-burning, renewable fuel options made from domestic renewable feedstocks, like soybean oil and animal fats, that reduce emissions, promote energy security and protect public health. Since 2020, the B20 Club of Indiana members have helped reduce CO₂ emissions by 27,950 tons and air particulates by 13,422 pounds, resulting in a $7.5 million estimated health benefit.

Use of biodiesel strengthens Indiana’s agricultural economy by boosting the value of soybeans and creating jobs, with biodiesel production supporting approximately 4,500 full-time equivalent positions in Indiana and more than 107,000 jobs nationwide.

“The B20 Club of Indiana is another checkoff success story,” said ISA Chair Denise Scarborough, a farmer from LaCrosse, Ind. “The Club’s efforts not only improve air quality in our state, but it also encourages the use and production of biodiesel, which also benefits Indiana soybean farmers.”

The B20 Club of Indiana recognizes and supports fleets and organizations that demonstrate a commitment to biobased fuels and products. As a leading resource for clean fleet operations, the B20 Club of Indiana helps operators take advantage of the many benefits of biobased fuels and products, while sharing their success stories with others.
