August 19, 2008 - Two new biodiesel studies have been released - the Renewable Diesel Characterization Study (RDCS) (pdf), and a related study, the Alberta Renewable Diesel Demonstration (or ARDD) (pdf).

The Renewable Diesel Characterization Study (RDCS) (pdf) is a suite of biofuel testing work that focuses on the chemical and cold temperature properties of renewable diesel fuels and blends.  The RDCS provides the Canadian marketplace with the most comprehensive fuel testing matrix of renewable diesel fuels and Canadian ULSD (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel) fuels to date in Canada. A comparison of renewable diesels from a variety of feedstocks and renewable blends, including different petroleum diesels and blend levels is presented in the report.
