Biofuels use
Use of • Ethanol: Recope’s Pilot Project from 2006 to 2010
EtOH mixed in gasoline 1.3%-4.5%
North Pacific Area
Considered in the NGHG inventory (23 100 t CO2)
Recope is planning a new pilot using ̴10%

Biofuels use
• Biodiesel:
Production:3.100.000 L per month from palm oil, soy, used oil from restaurants and houses.
Use: Buses, heavy transport, private cars
2 Biodiesel stations
Limited by legislation: Biodiesel’s price has to be regulated by a public autority, and this work is in progress.
