Shanghai to boost biodiesel fueling stations 10-fold by year’s end

In China, Shanghai is pushing forward its biodiesel program by expanding the availability of the fuel to drivers via 200 fueling stations by year’s end. Currently, 21 biodiesel fueling stations operating in the city. The program seeks to eliminate the 30,000 metric tons of dirty, overly-used cooking oil known as a gutter oil which it believes would be achieved by scaling up the program 10-fold. At the moment, more than 2,000 trucks fuel up on B5 at the stations.
