RE: [biofuels-biz] wish i had more time...

[Dick Carlstein]

except for austia's, there is no mandatory government standard for biodiesel in the world today.   all the standards mentioned, din, astm, cen, etc, are proposed standards.   proposed standards also happen to differ substantially from each other, as pointed out in detail in a past posting of mine.   biodiesel has been around commercially for 20 years +, and the situation has always been the same. austria established the first and only binding standard in '91.   the world has in effect been using, and is using, biodiesel without mandatory government standards.   in a recent posting by de winne, he predicts that there will be no mandatory european community standard for biodiesel until at least october 2003.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Wooly .

Hi Keith In fairness (or due to my fuzzy memory) I have to ask, did Dick actually say this (my inverted commas)? <<Such ideas, if you can call them that, as that there's "no need for standards">> I thought he just didn't like the ones around now, and wanted to make up his own.
