Rapeseed oil provides 89% of Germany’s biodiesel this winter

In Germany, at 89 percent, rapeseed oil is, as expected, the most important raw material of the biodiesel component in diesel fuel, followed by palm kernel oil at 6 percent and palm and soya oil at 4 and 1 percent, respectively. This is the result of the renewed investigation of the raw material composition of diesel fuel at public filling stations commissioned by the Union for the Promotion of Oil and Protein Plants (UFOP).
