Biodiesel has a number of standards for its quality. Main article: Biodiesel Biodiesel sampleThe European standard for biodiesel is EN 14214, which is translated into the respective national standards for each country that forms the CEN (European Committee for Standardization) area e.g., for the United Kingdom, BS EN 14214 and for Germany DIN EN 14214. It may be used outside the CEN area as well. Other international standards published by ASTM International include:
There are also DIN standards for three different varieties of biodiesel, which are made of different oils:
The standards ensure that the following important factors in the fuel production process are satisfied:
Basic industrial tests to determine whether the products conform to the standards typically include gas chromatography, a test that verifies only the more important of the variables above. Tests that are more complete are more expensive. Fuel meeting the quality standards is very non-toxic, with a toxicity rating (LD50) of greater than 50 mL/kg. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by Cowboy Roy - Wed May 31 05:06:59 2006 Should governments mandate biofuels? Q. In his 2007 State of the Union Address, President bush called for a several-fold expansion of the Renewable Fuel Standard, a government program that mandates the use of "renewable" biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. Last year, the program required US fuel makers to use four billion gallons of renewables. The new plan would increase that requirement to 35 billion gallons by 2017. Combined with the raft of subsidies, tariffs, and tax breaks already in place to support US biofuel producers, the plan's approval would very likely spark a rapid expansion of ethanol and biodiesel production in the US over the next decade. What do you think the potential unintended consequences of government-driven of biofuels may cause? What roles have… [cont.] Asked by PS - Wed May 23 01:16:07 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. No, unfortunately the result is the law of unintended consequences. That is if we require biofuels it will raise prices of corn and place economic pressure on the food supply. The seemingly environmental friendly solution will result in (a) higher gas prices, as biofuels are very expensive to produce and (b) higher food prices.

Heres some info. on Algae biofuel. -With our current biodiesel feedstocks, like soy and palm, there s no way we could grow enough to supply all of our transportation needs. In fact, it would actually require twice the land area of the US devoted to soybean production to meet current heating and transportation needs. -Algae, on the other hand, could supply all U.S. diesel power using a mere 0.2% of the nation s land. -Enough algae can be grown to replace all transportation fuels in the U.S. on only 15,000 square miles or 4.5 million acres of land. - Algae is the highest yielding feedstock for biodiesel, producing 24 times more oil per acre, on average, than the next leading feedstock--palm oil at 635 gallons/acre/year. -One company can… [cont.] Answered by NFrancis - Tue Apr 22 19:03:03 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Biodiesel standard"  news.google.com Adrian Daily Telegram We can separate those and produce a feedstock for biodiesel facilities.
