| Specifications and Quality Standards for Bio-fuels : |
| |
ASTM has issued bio-diesel standard D 6751 in December 2001, which covers the use of pure bio-diesel (B100) into conventional diesel fuel up to 20 % by volume (B20). This replaces the provisional specification PS 121 issued in1999. Austria (ON C 1191), France (JO), Italy (UNI 10635) and Germany (DIN E 51606) had issued bio-diesel standards in 1997, Sweden in 1996 and a common draft standard EN 14214 for the European Union has also been announced. The new Italian bio-diesel standard, which will replace UNI 10 635, has been finalized and will be released this year for public. The standards for Bio-Diesel in India are under formulation and are proposed to be based on standards adopted by European Union. It is necessary that the approval of Vehicle, Engine and Fuel Injection manufactures is taken before finalizing standards and implementing fuel change. By getting warranties from OEMs and FIE manufacturers, the customer acceptance of bio-fuels will increase and shall go a long way in enhancing the use of bio-fuels. |
