6. Biofuels in the Czech Republic
Biofuels in the Czech Rep. -- The most common biofuels: • Rapeseed oil methylester • Bioethanol -- Pure biofuels & high-biofuel blends • Fuel E85 • Fuel E95 -- The Czech Republic currently ranks 6th highest among the EU25 in terms of biodiesel production capacity. With a capacity of 203 ktoe per year in 2006, it clearly surpasses the production capacity of bioethanol (1.1 ktoe in 2005) Source: European Commission, January 2007 Source: European Biodiesel Board, June 2010
