How long until biodiesel is available at gas stations?

I believe that sometimes the development of an industry, especially a new one, is not just a matter of technology; for example, it is difficult for biodiesel to compete with conventional fuels when it enters vehicle fuel stations without any subsidies. However, in the field of aviation fuels, business opportunities may arise due to special events. Moving on to another topic for discussion – the countdown to the implementation of the EU aviation carbon tax continues, yet China’s stance remains unchanged. Recently, there were reports that some members of the EU **adopted a consultative approach and took the initiative to approach China’s civil aviation authorities for discussions. In fact, China is also actively seeking a solution that is acceptable to both sides in order to prevent the dispute from escalating further. 　　Industry experts say that the development and use of aviation kerosene could become the key to resolving the carbon tax dispute between China and the EU. “Used cooking oil is being transformed into aviation fuel; although the current cost is high, it holds great strategic significance for future energy needs. 　　Since last year, news of the EU’s imposition of a carbon tax on aviation has been emerging one after another, leading to ongoing verbal clashes between China and the EU. Previously, the EU had maintained a firm stance, but China has also never wavered in its position regarding aviation \"tolls\". However, a report by China News Network on July 20 stated that Li Jiaxiang, head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, revealed that in response to the EU’s imposition of a levy on carbon emissions from international aviation, some EU countries have recently adopted a consultative approach and taken the initiative to engage in discussions with China’s civil aviation authorities. 　　Wang Yao, director of the Climate and Energy Finance Research Center at Central University of Finance and Economics, said in a video interview with China News Service that the main reason why the EU is actively pushing for the implementation of a carbon tax is that Europe holds the most advanced and core technologies for energy conservation and emission reduction. Therefore, the best way to overcome the EU’s mandatory carbon tax is not to simply **, but to strive to acquire low-carbon technologies with independent intellectual property rights. 　　Among the many new technologies for emission reduction, the production and use of bio-based aviation kerosene is currently the most prominent focus. The news that KLM was using recycled cooking oil in its flights has sparked reflection in China: the recycled cooking oil, which has long posed a problem for consumers, can actually be turned into something useful. 　　Chen Jian from the Party Committee of Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. said that the composition of bio-jet fuel is no different from that of conventional jet fuel; it is merely through technical methods that biological materials such as algae and used cooking oil are converted into kerosene. Lin Baiqiang, a professor at Xiamen University, said in a previous interview with the Energy Channel of China News Service that there are no technical difficulties in converting used cooking oil into aviation fuel at present; the bottleneck lies in the high cost of such conversion. 　　Statistics show that the cost of converting \"gutter oil\" into aviation fuel is 2 to 3 times that of regular aviation fuel. Lin Boqiang analyzed that given the currently high cost of converting used cooking oil into aviation kerosene, the reports of a Dutch airline coming to China to purchase such oil could potentially be an attempt by the airline to create hype. 　　However, a responsible official from the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission said that it holds greater strategic significance for domestic production of biojet fuel at present. 　　It is understood that China currently possesses technologies such as coal-to-oil conversion and corn-to-ethanol production. However, since coal-to-oil conversion requires a large amount of water, and in order to protect China’s limited water resources, this technology has not been widely promoted; the same applies to corn-to-ethanol production. A relevant official from the National Development and Reform Commission said that China’s oil import dependency is currently around 56%; by mastering these reserve technologies for oil production, China’s energy supply will not be at the mercy of others when international oil prices soar to uncontrolled levels. 　　According to the Energy Channel of China News Service, on February 28 this year, Biojet Fuel No. 1, developed independently by Sinopec, was submitted to the Civil Aviation Administration of China for airworthiness approval. If it succeeds in passing the approval process, biojet fuel is expected to be used in commercial flights. 　　However, Chen Jian said that Zhenhai Refining & Chemical is currently facing the same difficulties as other bioenergy companies – a shortage of raw materials, especially recycled cooking oil. Chen Jian said that once Sinopec’s biojet fuel passes the airworthiness approval by the Civil Aviation Administration and enters commercial production in the future, there will be a high demand for biological raw materials. Overcoming the challenge of a shortage of raw material sources requires **policy guidance and the active cooperation of the whole society.

China’s products are too fake. We have one here, but what’s produced can only be used in boilers and similar devices; it cannot be used in cars. In fact, to deceive and get more **subsidies:@

Oh, may I ask, Mr. Feng, which company is it from that has one here? If it’s convenient, I’d like to warn everyone so that more people won’t get scammed.

I’ve only heard that fuel ethanol is subsidized; I haven’t heard of any subsidies for biodiesel.

**It’s about that policy; I also heard about it

Price factors. Current vehicle diesel engines are not yet very suitable for using biodiesel.
