The National Renewable Energy Laboratory announced the findings of the “Assessment of BQ-9000 Biodiesel Properties for 2024.” It’s the eighth in a series of annual reports documenting the quality of biodiesel from U.S. and Canadian producers participating in the industry’s voluntary BQ-9000 accreditation program. The study evaluates fuel quality parameters within the ASTM and Canadian CAN/CGSB specifications. Developed in partnership with Clean Fuels Alliance America, the report analyzes monthly quality data provided by BQ-9000-accredited producers throughout 2024. The study evaluates critical fuel quality parameters like viscosity, octane number, kinetic viscosity, carbon residue, and the presence of metals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. “This report demonstrates that the quality of biodiesel supplied by a BQ-9000 accredited producer exceeds the limits of the consensus global specification from ASTM International.” The 2024 Assessment of BQ-9000 Biodiesel Properties underscores the program’s critical role in advancing the adoption of higher biodiesel blends in diesel applications.
