Foreword
Biodiesel can be used as a stand-alone fuel, but the
majority of biodiesel is blended with petroleum-derived biodiesel as a way of
incorporating more renewable fuel into common use. However upwards of 20%
biodiesel, or B20, is currently uncommon as a transportation fuel. As well as a
lack of regulatory incentives and pricing, making it compatible with diesel
equipment without modifications can be tricky. But higher concentrations are
gradually becoming more accessible. Neste, a global producer of renewable
diesel fuel, have now made available their 100% renewable diesel in Oregon, US
for the first time. And at the other side of the world, a new biodiesel
facility has commenced production in Victoria, Australia. It will supply
biodiesel blends of B5, B20 and B100. Policy change is key
in aiding the drive towards diesel from renewable sources, although the minimum
requirement of biodiesel blends vary from country to country. Brazil has upped
its minimum blend of biodiesel from B10 to B11. This small change is estimated
to.........
