BioFuels

New BioFuels

ASTM, EN and other test methods have been developed to monitor the properties of biofuels (physical and chemical), constituent distribution,impurities and suitability of use.	Download pdf 2009 Update
The source materials that are used to produce these fuels from plant oils, ethyl alcohol (usually from corn) and even waste products.
Biodiesel refineriies have opened all over the world.
The Ministery of the Environment and Heritage of Australia has signed the Fuel Standard (Biodiesel) in 2006 which sets out the physical and chemical parameters with the associated test methods to determine compliance.
In Germany the sale of biodiesel in gas stations is over 2 million cubic meters.
In the USA, some state legislatures have mandated 2% biodiesel content in all diesels sold in those states.
