It gets boiled for ethanol.
Below is the world consumption of ethanol.

Bioethanol: the industry counts on the decline of diesel to continue its growth

AFP published on Jan. 30. 2018

The French bioethanol sector intends to prolong the strong growth of this biofuel in 2017, caused by the return to grace of gasoline vehicles to the detriment of diesel, according to a report released Tuesday by a group of bioethanol producers.

Last year, unleaded gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol (SP95-E10), produced from agricultural biomass (beetroot, cereals, etc.), has become the favorite gasoline of motorists, with 38,8% of the volumes of gasoline sold in France, welcomed in a statement the collective of bioethanol which brings together the producers of bioethanol. It has thus doubled the traditional SP95, even though diesel still represents 80% of fuel volumes sold in France.

Last year, for the first time in many years, France recorded more registrations of new gasoline-powered vehicles than diesel. This "announces the continued growth of gasoline consumption", and in particular of SP95-E10, less expensive than the SP95 because it emits less CO2, estimates the Bioethanol Collective. "We estimate that SP95-E10 will exceed the threshold of 50% market share for essences in less than 2 years," predicts Sylvain Demoures, secretary general of the SNPAA, which brings together producers of agricultural alcohol.

This fuel is now available in more than 5 800 service stations, 320 more than 2016 end, mainly in supermarkets. In addition, the sector relies on superethanol-E85, which contains up to 85% ethanol, to draw the consumption of bioethanol. At the end of 2017, the government laid down the regulatory framework for the homologation of cases allowing traditional gasoline vehicles to run with this fuel, even less polluting and cheaper (about 0,7 euro per liter).

Nearly 10 million vehicles of the current fleet in circulation in France could technically be equipped with these boxes. Sales volumes have already increased by 23% in 2017, thanks in particular to the increase in the distribution network. Near 940 stations are selling 11% more than 2016 end. The industry expects 25% to increase sales volumes of E85 this year.

Total launches into palm oil and wants to open a bio-refinery of global importance near Marseille. Except that the European Parliament has just made a date by asking for a halt to biofuels based on tropical vegetable oils, and especially palm oil.

Total invests 275 million euros for the conversion of its refinery to La Mède near Marseille. Its goal: to produce 500 000 tons of HVO biodiesel annually.

Ecologists and trade unionists denounce the project of Total. Mireille Villion, Friends of the Earth, makes the accounts: with the use of 650.000 tons of oils, including 100.000 t of used oils, 100.000 t of palm oil derivatives and 450.000 t of vegetable oils, in first approach, crude palm oil,

Total would more than double the French consumption of palm oil https://www.sauvonslaforet.org/petition ... e-de-palme

Green light for importing American soybeans into Europe to produce biofuel

West-France the 29 / 01 / 2019

The European Commission accepted this Tuesday January 29 the import of soybean produced in the United States to produce biofuel in the Union.



The European Union on Tuesday approved the import of US soybeans for biofuel, striving to consolidate the fragile trade truce concluded last summer with President Donald Trump.

Last July, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker succeeded in defusing the EU's trade dispute with the US, promising Donald Trump to increase US soybean imports into the EU.

The United States supplier 1 number of soybeans in Europe
On Tuesday, the European Commission concluded "that US soybeans meet the technical requirements for biofuels in the EU," she said in a statement. This authorization runs until July 2021.

The United States is already the number one supplier of soybeans in Europe for food and feed, with 75% market share. And purchases from across the Atlantic have seen a significant increase for several months.

Didn't I even know that pure sp95 still exists? : Cheesy: : Cheesy: : Cheesy:

In the Nauuurd it seems to me that the vast majority of pumps are E10 ... after I drive in Diesel ...

Is the same graph for the B7 vs Diesel?

Yes good B7 of which 50% of the "organic" part is palm oil ... and they try to make me feel guilty when I eat nutella! : roll:

EDIT: Oh no, if I remember correctly it is rather that 50% of the world production of palm oil ends up in "bio" fuel ... in the end I don't know what is the worst.

OK...

This is why I am surprised that there is still SP95 not E10 ...

Compatibility problem ... Some petrol vehicles even built after 2000 do not support the E 10 that would force their users to use sp 98. Similarly the E10 does not contain 10% ethanol but only 7.7. Beyond that it would be out standard especially in summer ...
