Will biodiesel play a role in EPAs recent proposed regulation that limits sulphur content in diesel fuel?
In May, 2000, EPA proposed a reduction in the sulphur content of highway diesel fuel of over 95% from its current level of 500 ppm Biodiesel has no sulphur or aromatics and tests have documented it’s ability to increase fuel lubricity significantly when blended with petroleum diesel fuel-even at very low levels. The currently proposed ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel regulations, designed to help protect human health, 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.
