Ensure fuel retailers sell only B20 biodiesel, given its environmental benefits

Biodiesel has a positive effect on net emissions as the production of vegetable oil is renewable. A B20 blend achieves a 10-15 per cent CO2 reduction over diesel. Particulate, sulphates, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions are also reduced.

At B20 blends, vehicular performance, serviceability or reliability is not impacted negatively.
