0 fuel used in the engines of some vehicles that is made from vegetable oil or animal fat -- biodiesel
We need to see how the biodiesel industry will respond to that incentive.
As a result, biodiesel was awarded a duty cut of 20p per litre compared with ultra-low sulphur diesel.
I believe that a whole series of proposals have been put forward for a wide range of novel fuels, including biodiesel.
At present, biodiesel is treated in exactly the same way as ordinary diesel in terms of duty.
The report states: "there is no conclusive evidence of the environmental benefits biodiesel may bring, except for reduced sulphur emissions compared with mineral diesel".
This is, in a way, related to the production of biodiesel.
Good agricultural practice, unlike for example the production of biodiesel, can guarantee both food output and carbon capture.
Using it for biofuel crop production—for biodiesel, short-rotation coppicing or elephant grass to fuel combined heat and power plants—would have multiple benefits.
