Biodiesel at Portland Marina - 2009
With suppliers unable to forecast weekly price trends other than most likely upwards a few pence! It’s interesting to hear the new marina in Portland plans to supply Biodiesel aswell as Red Diesel and Petrol.
Biodiesels are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional petroleum-based fuels. Biodiesels are mainly made from renewable resources such as animal fats or vegetable oils. Currently, bio diesels are most commonly used as an additive to diesel, improving the lubricity of pure, ultra-low sulphur diesel. Not all engines can cope with it and they may need to be modified first.
