Biodiesel study in Australia gets green light

A biofuels feasibility study in Australia has received funding from the local government of Victoria.

The Hepburn Shire Council will use the AU$60,000 (€41,235) as it considers converting heavy fleet vehicles to biodiesel.

Hepburn Shire will work with fellow councils in Golden Plains and Pyrenees Shire to work out the best way for their local communities to benefit from the switch. As well as consistency of final supply, the study will look at available feedstocks and their potential conversion.
