The German Federal Cabinet has proposed legislation under which biofuels will compete with other low carbon pathways to comply with exponentially increasing emission reduction quotas in the coming decade.
Electric vehicle (EV) penetration is expected to grow, so biofuel producers fear this could come at the expense of their product demand.
Stratas Advisors does not share this outlook. Even if…

At approximately 2.8 million tonnes, the incorporation of biofuels in diesel fuel blends reached its highest level in the past year since the quota regime was introduced in 2007.
The diesel fuel standard DIN EN 590 limits the incorporation rate of fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel) to a maximum of 7% by volume.
According to the standard, HVO can be blended at up to 26%.
The Union zur…

The rising presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not a new problem and it is widely known.
In 2019, a new record amount of carbon dioxide was recorded in the atmosphere at around 409 ppm, and it will be increasing every year if past trends continue.
Carbon dioxide emissions have also been increasing every year with an increase of approximately 12 billion tons of emissions over the…
