In order to achieve these targets, in addition to switching to electromobility and alternative mobility concepts, the use of climate-friendly biofuels is essential, as they directly reduce greenhouse gases and also address the existing vehicle fleet. Biodiesel (FAME – fatty acid methyl ester) is one of these climate-friendly biofuels and is already making the biggest contribution to saving our climate in the transport sector. But is the biodiesel quality sufficient? more…
