- Following the successful mixing of biofuel with diesel oil fuel at a ratio of 30% (B30), the government, through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, is now aiming to complete the ongoing road testing of a new biofuel and diesel-oil fuel mixture at a ratio of 40% (B40). The stated target date for the completion of the B40 road testing is December 2022 and the test results should produce technical recommendations for the implementation of B40 policies.
- B40 road testing is being implemented in two different fuel-mixture stages, specifically: 1) B30D10 with a mixed formula of 30% biodiesel (B100*) and 10% vegetable diesel/biohydrocarbon diesel/HVO (D100) + 60% diesel oil (B0); and 2) B40 with a mixed formula of 40% biodiesel (B100*) + 60% diesel oil (B0).
- The tests that are used during B40 Road Testing encompass the handling and analysis of fuel consumption, quality testing of fuels and lubricants, performance testing of chassis dynamometers, testing of the merit ratings of vehicle components, testing of fuel storage stabilities and testing of start-ability and fuel precipitation.
