The first filling stations in Germany are now offering the new diesel substitute HVO 100. The biofuel made from hydrogenated vegetable fats can be significantly more climate-friendly than its fossil counterpart – depending on which raw materials are used for production. However, according to the FAZ, the new fuel still costs around 9 cents more per liter, even in the cheapest case. The trade association Fuels and Energy (en2x) is therefore hoping that European tax regulations will be amended as quickly as possible.
