“Energy cooperative Freudenberg vs ADAC (Beiersdorf-Freudenberg) under the title will be the diesel soon more expensive?” the ADAC in the latest edition of its member magazine published a detailed post, which deals with the future of diesel production in Germany. Extensively describes and analyses the consequences resulting from the production conditions of the large oil companies. As a result, the article concludes that Germany is faced with a shrinking supply of diesel fuel in the coming years. As quoted the Managing Director of the German oil industry association, Dr. Klaus Picard, saying: while we’re running so to speak the petrol out of the ears, the refineries can not satisfy the demand for diesel. And now we see that the demand for increased diesel until 2020 steadily continue. This will precipitate inevitably at the expense of diesel.” Looking for alternatives is asked in the article including biodiesel or bio-fuels.
Here name: synthetic biofuels of the second generation from biomass, natural gas, or coal could better solve the problem. But their production techniques are not mature in Weitem, and functioning pilot plants can be expected at the earliest in ten years.” Is not quite so. At least as far as the regional needs of medium-sized companies, there are now very much market-ready solutions. An example is the energy cooperative Freudenberg EC in Brandenburg, Germany. What’s Special: The members of the cooperative detach itself completely from the international oil market and produce their own diesel. The fledgling co-operative is to buy its first production facility in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Exclusively from biogenic residues for which no food surfaces must be sacrificed, produced high-quality diesel fuel under the name CEHATROL from early 2010. This diesel fuel is certified according to the General diesel standard DIN EN 590 and not with the conventional bio-diesel to compare.
Due to the statutory exemption is delivered this diesel until at least 2015 to the production cost to the members of the cooperative. And he is not even half of what the consumer must currently pay at the petrol stations. Cooperative Board Member Helmut Uhlig: For any company that needed more than 300 l diesel a year, a membership in a cooperative of energy as the energy cooperative Freudenberg can be useful. Sure, a cooperatively organized enterprises can cover not the diesel demand of the whole country. But he certainly is an important step for our environment. “And for a purse always.” More information on the energy cooperative of Freudenberg.
