How will this concept fit in with EPA’s recently passed regulation that limits sulfur content in diesel fuel?
EPA has finalized rules that will require a reduction in the sulfur content of highway diesel fuel of more than 95% from its current level of 500 ppm. Biodiesel already meets EPA’s new low sulfur diesel requirements, and can play an important role as a blending stock for the entire US diesel motor pool. Biodiesel has no sulfur or aromatics and increases fuel lubricity significantly when blended with petroleum diesel fuel-even at very low levels. Future diesel fuel will require the addition of a lubricity additive. Biodiesel could be included as a low level blending component in diesel fuel as a means to improve fuel lubricity while providing environmental, economic, and energy security benefits to diesel users and the US public at the same time.
