Australia’s growing population means increased consumption

“Australia’s senate recently passed a renewable energy target bill.
This means that 20% of electricity production aims to come from reneables by 2020”

Biodiesel in Australia

In Australia, total diesel consumption in 2009 was 19 gigalitres and we imported more than 48% of those needs. An increasing number of commercial organisations (mining companies and transport companies) are trialling B20 to B100 blends because of the significant greenhouse reduction benefits. Biodiesel blends – usually B5 or B20 – are available at an increasing number of service stations in all states.

In Australia, the main feedstocks are tallow, used cooking oil and oilseeds. The CSIRO has estimated that converting all used cooking oil, tallow exports and oilseed exports to biodiesel could potentially replace 4–8% of petrodiesel consumption.

The biodiesel industry in Australia already has the capacity to produce nine times the amount of biodiesel consumed in 2007. And this could increase even further – 10–40% – with the ‘2nd generation’ technologies that are under development.
