Netherlands companies form biodiesel association

January 1, 2008

Eight biodiesel manufacturers, which produce a total of 1.5 million tons, created the Netherlands Biodiesel Industry Association in late October. The group is hoping to generate political support for biodiesel by touting its low carbon dioxide emissions and the reduction of foreign oil dependency. The eight companies-Biodiesel Kampen, Biopetrol Rotterdam, Biovalue Holding, Clean Energy, Dutch Biodiesel, J&S BioEnergy, Rosendaal Energy and Sunoil Biodiesel-produce enough biodiesel to replace at least 10 percent of the country's mineral diesel as early as 2009, according to the association. The country, with its western European shoreline, is also an ideal international distributor of the fuel.
