BioDiesel in EU

The EU has adopted a series of directives to promote renewable energy sources and to encourage energy efficiency. These directives set legislative frameworks for Member State action to meet a range of energy objectives in sectors such as heating, electricity and transport. The biofuels directive is one such directive.

The biofuels directive sets indicative targets for the biofuel share of all transport fuels at 2% from the 1st of October 2005 and 5.75% by 2010. Member States have to set their own targets for biofuel substitution that take account of the overall European targets. In addition as it is exempt of mineral taxes biodiesel is cheaper than mineral diesel so the users of 100% biodiesel are growing rapidly.

Taking these European targets into account, the Member States must set their own national indicative targets and use these to steer national policies and measures to build a minimum share for biofuels on their domestic markets.

EU Directives for Blending Biodiesel

2003/30/EC – May 2003, established indicative targets of 2% by Dec 31, 2005 and 5.75% by Dec 31, 2010 for the minimum proportion that biofuels and other renewable fuels shall comprise as a percentage of all fuels used in the transportation sector. The Directive also states that Member States shall provide yearly reports of the status of the implementation of the Directive.

2003/96/EC – October 2003, established minimal levels of taxation applicable to motor fuels and permits Member States to completely or partially eliminate the mineral oil tax levied on biofuels and other renewable fuels.

In those Member States where biofuels are most successful, this result seems to have been achieved through fiscal and proactive promotional measures, irrespective of specific national circumstances or resource availability. The directive keeps the option of mandatory blending open for the longer term to ensure that targets are met and that the costs of promotion, through reduced tax revenues and state aid, are borne fairly by all Member States.

Carbon Emission Trading

Carbon emissions trading involves the trading of permits to emit carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases, calculated in tones of carbon dioxide equivalent, tCO2e). Carbon trading is one of the ways countries can meet their obligations under the Kyoto Protocol to reduce emissions and thereby mitigate global warming.

Carbon trading schemes: The European Union Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading Scheme is the largest multi-national, greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme in the world. Operation commenced in January 2005 and all 25-member states of the European Union participate in the scheme. Each ratifying country has agreed to limit emissions to the levels described in the protocol, but many countries have limits that are set above their current production. Other countries on the open market can purchase surplus credit amounts.

Operation: A country caps its carbon emissions at a certain level (known as cap and trade) and then issues permits to firms and industries, granting the firm the right to emit a unitized increased amount of carbon dioxide over a period of time. Firms are then free to trade these credits in a free market. Firms whose emissions exceed the allowed amount of credits will be penalized. The idea behind carbon trading is that the selling of credits to firms that are unable to reduce emissions will reward firms that do reduce their emissions.

What is Biodiesel Biodiesel is a clean burning bio-fuel, produced from renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum; however it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a Biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with no modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, non-toxic, carbon neutral and essentially free of sulphur and aromatics. Reasons for using Biodiesel Biodiesel runs in any conventional, unmodified diesel engine Biodiesel can be stored anywhere that petroleum diesel fuel is stored Biodiesel reduces Carbon Dioxide emissions, the primary cause of the Greenhouse Effect, by up to 100%. Biodiesel can be used alone or blended in any amount with petroleum diesel fuel Biodiesel is more lubricating than diesel fuel, it increases the engine life and can be used in place of sulfur Biodiesel contains practically no sulfur Biodiesel decreases soot emissions considerably Biodiesel is biodegradable and non-toxic, is safe to transport and is not considered a hazardous material

CPU3000 A special 3000 tons per year equipment especially for restuarant residue (used cooking oil). However, the raw material for this equipment cannot be extremely used or destroyed, because if it was “over-used”, then the polymers, carbons, etc. increase in the oil and it is not good for biodiesel purposes. If the FFA (free fatty acid) is not higher than 5 %, our CPU 3000 can nicely make a good quality biodiesel from this material. Also a generator can be added, and 1,6 MW electricity can be generated.
