2. Biodiesel is a clean-burning
alternative to petroleum
diesel made from domestic,
renewable resources such as
vegetable oils, recycled
cooking oil and animal fats.

3.  Biodiesel is a renewable, environmentally
 friendly substitute for petro-diesel fuel.
 It is produced from edible & non-edible oils,
and animal fats.
 Normally Biodiesel blends can be used in
diesel engines without any alteration.

4. EDIBLE OIL SOURCES
Sunflower
Soybean (USA)
Corn
Rapeseed
Others
NON-EDIBLE OIL SOURCES
Pongamia (Sukh Chein)
Jojoba
Castor
Jatropha
Others

5.  Pakistan State Oil has been fuelling the needs of the nation.
 Currently the Company is engaged in the marketing and
distribution of various POL products including Motor Gasoline
(Mogas), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Furnace Oil (FO), Jet Fuel
(JP-1), Kerosene, CNG, LPG, Petrochemicals and Lubricants.
 PSO has the most wide-spread retail network in the country
with over 3,500 retail outlets and is also the major fuel
supplier to aviation, railways, power projects, armed forces,
marine and agriculture sectors.

6.  Non-edible plant seeds as feed stock
 Avoidance of competition with Food Crops
 Utilization of country’s ample Marginal
/Barren land
 Conserving agricultural Water Resources.
 Produce biodiesel at minimum possible cost

7.  PSO’s ultimate goal is to significantly participate in
blending 10% of Country’s total petro-diesel
consumption (8 million tones) with biodiesel; in
line with GoP’s directives.

8.  Total consumption of diesel per year:
8 M tons
 10% of requirement (Biodiesel) per year:
800 K tons
 Land requirement (800 shrubs / acre):
812500 Acres


11.  Pakistan’s biodiesel Industry is still in its infancy. The
government of Pakistan’s ‘Alternative Energy Development
Board’ (AEDB) is very active in encouraging biodiesel utilization.
The AEDB has worked on the sector’s development on its own as
well as in collaboration with Pakistan State Oil, the largest
producer of petroleum products.
 In a similar fashion, Pakistan State Oil has also conducted
successful trials of biodiesel production at its test farm and
biodiesel plant.
 The Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC) has identified
areas for suitable jatropha cultivation. There are no reports of
large scale feedstock plantations or biodiesel production at this
point in time, but the successful execution of a trial project by
PSO and other stakeholders has laid the groundwork for the
establishment of a larger industry in the near future.

12.  The Pakistan government is planning to replace 5% of its
yearly diesel consumption with biodiesel by 2015 and to raise
the figure to10% by 2025
 Remove the sales tax and petroleum level on biodiesel
products to encourage the demand, thereby stimulating the
growth in the biodiesel Industry.
 Create and empower environmental groups to construct
political support in favor of widespread adoption of alternative
fuels.
 Work in conjunction with the other state to create a more
uniform distribution of biodiesel feedstock production

13.  Ministry of Water & Power in coordination with AEDB shall be the
apex coordinating and facilitating body for the National Bio-Diesel
Programme.
 Gradual introduction of bio-diesel fuel blends with petroleum diesel so
as to achieve a minimum share of 5% by volume of the total Diesel
consumption in the country by the year 2015 and 10% by 2025.
 Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to purchase Bio-Diesel (B-100)
from Bio-Diesel manufacturers; and sell this Bio-Diesel blended with
Petroleum Diesel (starting with B-5) at their points of sale.
 Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources shall come up with the
fuel quality standards for B-100 and blends up to B-20.

14.  All imported plant, machinery, equipment and specific items
used in the production of Biodiesel shall be exempted from
Customs Duty, Income Tax and Sales Tax.
 Pilot project would be scaled up after success.
 Promote productive use of energy for income generation
activities.

15.  The governments of Pakistan recommended to create a
national biodiesel mission that oversees the development of
this industry.
 Pakistan should increase the environmental awareness by
creating groups that articulate environmental concerns in the
existing political framework.
 The governments should provide a tax incentive to biodiesel
consumers. The fuel tax should be exempted for biodiesel.
 Pakistan should plan and cultivate large scale plantations of
jojoba a biodiesel crop that is resistant to drought and
excessively high temperatures. This would reduce the risks
associated with innovation and would create agricultural jobs
in rural areas.
