Where is biodiesel used today as a fuel lubricity additive?
A total of seven companies have released premium additive packages containing biodiesel, in which biodiesel is a major marketing aspect of the products. In the summer of 1999, Koch – the second largest privately owned company in the US behind Cargill – launched a new premium diesel fuel product called US SoyField Diesel. It is now sold in more than 20 terminals in the Midwest and is expanding. Also in 1999, Country Energy (the Farmland/Cenex petroleum joint venture) launched SoyMaster, its proprietary premium diesel containing biodiesel, in four terminals in the Midwest.
