• Together with bioethanol, biodiesel is a biomass based transport fuel (also for stationary internal comp.engines)
• Can substitute fossil diesel in vehicle engines - either as 100% biodiesel or partially in a blend
What is Biodiesel?

• Strategy papers indicate : alongside renewably-produced hydrogen, biofuels represent an important potential route for achieving the goal of zero-carbon transport.
What is Biodiesel?

• Produced through transesterification of fat molecules; in Europe mainly Rapeseed & sun-flowerseed are used
What is Biodiesel?
Transesterification
Jatropha oil Methanol (approx. 10%)

• On life cycle base, CO2 emissions of Biodiesel is between 100 to 78% < fossil diesel, depending on, e.g., intensity of Agric.mechanisation used for growing oil crops
• Carbon Sequestration for emission trading

Why Biodiesel?
Clean Fuel and Vehicles in Central & Eastern Europe & Turkey-Szentendre-27-28 October 2005
7
• Health Benefits• Ozone layer - Reduces CO2 emissions with~78% in
comparison with fossil diesel, on life cycle base
• Fewer soot and particle emissions
• Environmental Benefits• non-toxic Biodegradable
• Closed CO2 cycle, thus reduces production of GHG
• Sulphur free
Why Biodiesel?

• Benefits for Engine• Optimized viscosity and thus, reduction of engine wear
• Macro-Economical Benefits• Employment creation• Increased security of energy supply• Conservation of foreign exchange by reducing
import quotas and improving country’s balance of payments

• Air pollution in cities: could be reduced significantly, biodiesel results in substantial reductions of:
– unburned hydrocarbons (67%)
– carbon monoxide (47%)
– particulate matter (47%)
Cleaner air cities

a solution to…
Air pollution in cities:
• Emissions of NOx are slightly reduced or increased (10%) depending on the engine and testing methods used. However, biodiesel’s lack of sulfur allows the use of NOx control technologies that cannot be used with conventional diesel; therefore, effectively managing NOx emissions

• Plantation of oil crops, especially on marginal land, improve the biodiversity
• Using Biodiesel is an appropriate option for sensitive zones with water reservoirs due to being non-toxic & Bio-degradable
Biodiversity
Why Biodiesel?

• On life cycle based biodiesel has a positive Energy Balance: For every one unit of energy needed to produce biodiesel, 3.2 units of energy are gained.
Preserve natural resources
Why Biodiesel?
Clean Fuel and Vehicles in Central & Eastern Europe & Turkey-Szentendre-27-28 October 2005

Issues in CEE
• Exude from rural areas; Need to create new opportunities for rural development, income & job creation
• Needs to reduce dependency on imported fuels & to increase security of energy supply
• Obligations to meet international commitments for Global greenhouse emissions & undertake mitigation efforts
• Air pollution, especially in large cities, & health consequences; need for cleaner fuel for transport

14
• EU has set a goal: by 2010, 5,75% of energy used in transport shall be biofuels
• In Europe Biodiesel counts for ~ 80% of biofuels produced; Its quality insured with (EN14214)
Present Situation

• 1.4 million ha was cultivated in 2004 to produce biodiesel
• Germany is largest producer, reached already goal for 2010
• ~40 plants in Europe: Austria, CzechCzech, Germany, Italy, France, PolandPoland, Spain & Sweden

Feedstock
• Availability & cost of feedstock (~80% of production costs),
• Availability of land: for food or fuels? Crop rotation
• Set-aside land in EU (~5-6 million ha), at least 19 million ha is needed for the 5.75% in 2010
Reflections & Concerns
Clean Fuel and Vehicles in Central & Eastern Europe & Turkey-Szentendre-27-28 October 2005
18
Is it economically competitive?
• Unit cost of biodiesel from rapeseeds is ~0.52 to 0.6 Euro/l (before taxes) depending on the plant production capacity
• Feedstock costs ~80% of production costs.
• Price of diesel (at distribution station) is ~ 0.6 Euro/l.
Reflections & Concerns
Clean Fuel and Vehicles in Central & Eastern Europe & Turkey-Szentendre-27-28 October 2005
19
• To enable market penetration & development incentive mechanisms & excise exemption are needed
• Supportive financial mechanisms, set-aside & carbon credit
• Main message is to strive to decreasing cost of feedstock (↓ agric. input & ↑ productivity/ ha) and mixing with other, less costly feedstock, e.g., Used Frying Oil

Marketing strategy, segment• Determining options :
– pure 100% for certain market segment (agr. Machinery´s or city bus fleet)
– blend, in all engines without modifications, does not need separate distribution system
• Which segment?
– City transport: less harmful emissions
– Lakes & rivers: fast biodegradability
– Drinking water areas: zero toxicity

• There is a need to match between the benefits of establishing biodiesel production chain and the needs of CEE countries, especially: decreasing co2 emissions cleaner air
• Loss of state income due to biodiesel is compensated with tax income from economic activities and job creation through out the whole chain

Three complementary ways to reach the goal of clean air:
1- Using cleaner fuels (un-leaded, de-sulpharized)
2- Less fuels/more efficient engine
3- Using Environmentally friendly fuels/biofuels
