Outline
The goal of the research is to define appropriate utilization of biodiesel fuel, by establishing the quality standard and quality control/management method that is required in the market. To achieve this objective, production of high-quality biodiesel fuel, its smooth distribution, and stabilization of economic infrastructure can be expected.
In this project, quality control/management method in the market?will be focused. Starting in 2007, this WG established EAS-ERIA Biodiesel Fuel Standard: 2008 for B100 fatty acid methyl ether (FAME) aimed for low level blending with diesel fuel. From 2008 to 2009, WG on "Benchmarking of Biodiesel Fuel Standardization in East Asia" had continuous discussion for the adjustments of the previous year's achievement, potentials of inedible feedstock, and quality control/management method of biodiesel fuel in the market, aiming at the "secure use" of the 1st generation of biodiesel fuel (FAME). The results and findings of the research activities have been compiled in the "Biodiesel Fuel Trade Handbook".
