China Petrochemical Corp, the country's largest oil refiner, vows to further step up its involvement in the biofuel market by continuing its B5 biodiesel project in Shanghai while accelerating research on B10 biodiesel.
B5 Biodiesel is a biofuel blend consisting of 5 percent biodiesel made from discarded oil from the catering industry and sewer pipes, and 95 percent petroleum diesel fuel.
However, the decline in oil prices creates a tougher competitive environment for the biofuel industry.
Trash sorting in China might help with sourcing or collection of raw materials for biodiesel though, she said, adding that more breakthroughs in technology are essential to lower biofuel prices.
Bioethanol is commonly made from biomass such as corn or sugarcane, which is mostly used as a motor fuel, mainly as a biofuel additive for gasoline.
Finnish forest industry giant harvests renewable and biodegradable materials to create recyclable everyday productsEnvironmentalists would welcome a biofuel car that consumes as little energy as possible, but most would be surprised if it was the brainchild of a papermaker, rather than an automaker.
UPM is already a large biofuel producer, one of the world's leading plywood suppliers, and a leader in the labeling and biocomposite industries.
Meanwhile, all these materials and the biofuel are real, commercialized products.
China's push to further expand production and consumption of bioethanol this year in order to clean up the environment, while seeking more channels to consume corn and grain stockpiles, has created a huge biofuel market that is tempting global chemical companies.
