Diesel for transportation purposes must contain biocomponent

Diesel for transportation purposes released on the market since the beginning of this year must contain at least 5% biodiesel. Gas stations are obliged to sell only this kind of diesel since the beginning of March, after two months of transition.

Act about energy from renewable sources says also that diesel fuel must contain at least 6% biodiesel since June 2012. Gasoline is to be blended with 2% bioethanol since then and increasing of compulsory part of biocomponent is scheduled for the future.

We thus fulfil EU requirements about using biofuels by blending them with mineral ones when fuels are used for transport. Target is ecological but unfortunately there are negative side effects such as price jump of fuels containing biocomponents.
