In the UK, drivers using SVO/PPO have in the past been prosecuted for failure to pay duty to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. The rate of taxation on SVO was originally set at a reduced rate of 27.1p per litre, but in late 2005, HMRC started to enforce the full diesel excise rate of 47.2p per litre.
General Motors is starting a project to produce E85 fuel from cellulose ethanol for a projected cost of $1 per US gallon ($0.26 per litre). This is optimistic, because $1 per US gallon equates to $10 per million British thermal units ($34/MWh) which is comparable to woodchips at $7 per million British thermal units ($24/MWh) or firewood at $6 ...
Biodiesel is treated like any other vehicle fuel in the UK and the paperwork required to register as a producer is a major limiting factor to growth in the market. Although since July 2007 home users may produce 2500 litres per year for personal use without registering or paying duty.
The major fuel usage is by conversion to biodiesel with about 3 billion US gallons (11,000,000 m 3) in 2009. [23] In 2004 the US consumed 530 billion litres (140 billion USgal) of gasoline and 150 billion litres (40 billion USgal) of diesel. [24] In biodiesel it says oil palm produces 5940 litres per hectare (635 USgal/acre) of palm oil each
Specific energy is energy per unit mass, which is used to describe the chemical energy content of a fuel, expressed in SI units as joule per kilogram (J/kg) or equivalent units. [1] Energy density is the amount of chemical energy per unit volume of the fuel, expressed in SI units as joule per litre (J/L) or equivalent units. [2]

The main form of SVO/PPO used in the UK is rapeseed oil (also known as canola oil, primarily in the United States and Canada) which has a freezing point of −10 °C (14 °F). [ citation needed ] However the use of sunflower oil, which gels at around −12 °C (10 °F), [ 6 ] is currently being investigated as a means of improving cold-weather ...
In February 2010, the Iranian government implemented an energy price reform by which the energy subsidies were to be removed in five years; the most important price hike was in gasoline, as the price went up from 1000 rials ($0.10 US) to 4000 rials ($0.40 US) per litre, with a ration of 100 litres per month for private passenger cars (later ...
