BIODIESEL * Sweden - Södra running long-term biodiesel test

Södra has commenced a two-year project in which RME biodiesel, rape methyl ether, is being tested in six vehicles

Växjö Suecia -Lesprom Network (Moscow,Russia) -Jul 15, 2009: -- The project aims to show the environmental and economic benefits of a transition to RME biodiesel as well as its effect on the actual vehicles, the company reports... The fuel meets the EN14214 standard and is produced and delivered by Energigårdarna from its plant in Eslöv in southern Sweden. The rape is grown on local fields. Energy needed for the RME process is provided by a straw boiler along with on-site windpower, and the fuel is also used in the vehicles that deliver RME to filling stations... The test began in January this year when the first vehicles were filled with 100% RME. Three Södra lorries are involved in the project, two Scania and one Volvo. Three fork-lift trucks are also included in the project in conjunction with Volvo Penta. The six vehicles operate in the Mörrum, Älmhult, Ullared and Värö districts, all within reasonable distance for filling with the RME diesel which is produced locally in Skåne...
