Zimbabwe looking again at B2 using jatropha

In Zimbabwe, the country is looking to implement a 2% biodiesel blend by year’s end using fuel produced from jatropha. The country had looked to implement such a policy several years ago but the plans went by the wayside under a previous minister. Now the policy is back on the table along with returning to 15% ethanol blending and developing A1 jet fuel in an effort to reduce imports. Plans to produce energy by distilling coal is also being muted.
