Radical change in biodiesel use – no future as pure fuel?

Biodiesel sales slumped by about 740,000 MT on 2009 in comparison with 2007. The pure fuel, the core product for biodiesel producers, distributors and filling station owners, dropped from approximately 1.85 million MT to 0.231 million MT within the same period. In 2007, Germany had about 1900 stations, then the world’s densest network of biodiesel filling stations. It almost completely disappeared within only two years.
