![]() ![]() Monoglycerides, diglycerides & triglycerides, max US and EU Biodiesel Specifications Propertyĭistillation temperature (% vol recovered)Ĭarbon residue on 10% distillation residue, max Both ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 establish specifications for key fuel properties for biodiesel-the former for the biodiesel blend component, the latter for both blend stock and neat biodiesel automotive fuel. The FAME component in EN 16709 is required to comply with EN 14214 and the diesel component with EN 590.Ī standard similar to EN 590, EN 16734, covering blends up to B10 is expected to be published in 2016.īiodiesel specifications and test methods according to ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 are compared with those of petroleum diesel in Table 1. EN 590:2004 allowed blends up to 5% of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) in diesel fuel while EN 590:2009 increased the allowable FAME content to 7%.ĮN 16709, introduced in 2015, covers B20 and B30 blends for use by captive fleets. An additional set of climatic classes based on monoglycerides content was also established.īiodiesel/diesel fuel blends up to B7 are covered by EN 590. EN14214:2012 introduced a number of changes including an expansion of the scope to cover heating oil applications and updates to cover blends up to B10. In contrast to ASTM D6751, B100 that meets this standard could be used unblended in a diesel engine (if the engine has been adapted to operate on B100) or blended with diesel fuel to produce a blend in accordance with EN 590 or other applicable standards. ![]()
