Graph of UK figures for the Carbon Intensity of Biodiesels and fossil fuels. It assumes biodiesel is transported to the UK to be burnt. [2] Making and burning biodiesel contributes to atmospheric carbon dioxide to a smaller extent than burning fossil fuels. The calculation of exactly how much carbon dioxide is produced is a complex and inexact ...
In Europe, straight vegetable oil (SVO) costs 150 pence/litre at most supermarkets [11] and somewhat less when bought in bulk direct from the manufacturers whereas diesel costs at least 130 pence per litre (in the UK [12]) to well over that (depends on the year, 1.4 euro is the current market price in central Europe).

Under favourable economic conditions and strong improvements in policy support, NNFCC projections suggest advanced biofuels could meet up to 4.3 per cent of the UK's transport fuel by 2020 and save 3.2 million tonnes of CO 2 each year, equivalent to taking nearly a million cars off the road.
Diesel prices have reached a record high of more than 180p per litre, new figures show. Data firm Experian Catalist said the average price per litre on Sunday was 180.3p per litre.
Today, multi-feedstock biodiesel facilities are producing high quality animal-fat based biodiesel. [ 96 ] [ 97 ] Currently, a 5-million dollar plant is being built in the US, with the intent of producing 11.4 million litres (3 million gallons) biodiesel from some of the estimated 1 billion kg (2.2 billion pounds) of chicken fat [ 98 ] produced ...
Drivers have been hit by the average cost of a litre of petrol reaching a record of nearly £1.60. Figures from data firm Experian Catalist show UK forecourts sold the fuel at an average price of ...
Algae could yield more than 2000 gallons of fuel per acre per year of production. [9] Algae based fuels are being successfully tested by the U.S. Navy [10] Algae-based plastics show potential to reduce waste and the cost per pound of algae plastic is expected to be cheaper than traditional plastic prices. [11]
The RAC claimed drivers are being ‘seriously overcharged for diesel’, with average prices rising by 2p per litre to 157.8p in April.
