The
“LOCAL AND INNOVATIVE BIODIESEL”-project’s
objective is to contribute to the realisation of the intended
obligatory Biodiesel market shares of 2 % by 2005 and 5,75 %
in 2010 as indicated by the European Commission’s Directive
Proposal for the promotion of liquid biofuels.
Project aims at creating a friendly environment to deploy
local based biodiesel plants throughout Europe, using edible
vegetal oils coming from small producers (families & small
restaurants). Currently this residue is left by the sewage,
contaminating soils and waters, & creating heavy problems
in sewage plants. Objectives are the removal of existing
barriers (lack of reliable information on this business
activity), promote at least two small demo plants at local
level, and disseminate information sufficient to encourage
industrials to deploy this type of plants and the raw matter
procurement system. An important part of this project will be
dedicate to the bio-diesel production, to the development of
blending recipes, to the quality control training courses, to
the diesel engine bench tests and finally to test and evaluate
bio-diesel fleets.
