Bulgaria’s B6 set for implementation September 1

In Bulgaria, the new 6% biodiesel blending mandate will come into effect on September 1 with 1% of the mandate to be supplied from non-food crop-based biodiesel including waste and residues, algae, pomace, sludge waste, crops, manure and others. Part of the new regulations supporting the mandate includes feedstock traceability to ensure feedstocks can’t be manipulated in order to comply with the advanced biofuel set-aside requirement. The country is working towards compliance with the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive that will require 10% blending by 2020.
