Poland using biodiesel as means to counteract impact from Russia import ban

In Poland, the government is pushing for increased biodiesel blending in an effort to offset Russia’s import ban of agricultural goods. About 70% of the country’s rapeseed crop is going towards biodiesel, which reached 7% blending in 2014. The aim is still 10% for 2020. Corn is the main feedstock for ethanol, with both biofuels receiving government support in order to stay economically viable.
