What is biodiesel? Fuel for diesel vehicles made from plant or animal oils Currently biodiesel is canola oil methyl esters in Europe and soy oil methyl esters in North America.
Why Biodiesel? Diesels are efficient similar efficiency to fuel cells Ethanol is good but biodiesel is better 1 litre biodiesel = 2 litre ethanol Technology is available now Kyoto
Many Benefits of Biodiesel Lower emissions Biodegradable, non-toxic Renewable Fuel economy and power comparable to petroleum diesel Higher lubricity Works with existing diesel technology New industrial use for canola

Canadian Diesel Fuel Demand by End Use, 2000 Off Road Industry 18% Farm Use 14% Public 4% Commercial & Passenger Road 64%
Canola-Based Biodiesel and Prairie Demand Forecast for prairie diesel fuel demand in 2004 is 7.86 billion L At B2, biodiesel required = 157.2 million L Approximately 650,000 acres of canola A 25 bu/ac. canola crop produces 250 litres of biodiesel.
Role of Biotechnology in the Future Next Generation of Canola Products: New varieties and oil profiles for nutritional changes Modified oil composition for functionality Better agronomics, disease/stress/frost resistance, etc.

What Needs To Happen Mandate: provincial / federal? Tax Relief - Provincial government Incentives - Federal government Production Technology - Agriculture Processing Technology - Industry Adoption - Transportation Industry
Simple Mandate for Biodiesel Inclusion Would accelerate the use of biodiesel immediately All costs passed to consumer Fuel companies would have to comply and distribute blended product Least cost product would be marketed HOWEVER, no restriction on sourcing may promote imports of finished product or cheaper feedstocks?
Thank you
