At the 24th of April 2008 and at the premises of the Dutch province of Noord Brabant a meeting was held with regional producers of biodiesel and transportation companies with their own filling facilities. It was an initiative of the provincial government and E-Energy Market. The goal was to investigate the obstacles to be removed for the transportation companies to start using second generation biodiesel. This is made of residues, side products and waste.The transportation companies operate in a business environment with fierce competition and costs are therefore important. The price difference of biodiesel with fossil diesel is the most important obstacle. Apart from this, also technical and operational issues and their cost consequences play a role. At the end of the meeting the biodiesel producers committed themselves to make an offer that can compete with fossil diesel.

E-Energy Market is an electronic marketplace for bio-energy and wants to contribute with this initiative to the growth of use of biofuels in the transportation industry. Users of www.E-EnergyMarket.com are companies and organisations that buy and sell bio-energy and related products. The province of Noord Brabant enhances clean, economical, silent and durable means of transportation. A part of the relevant program is replacing fossil fuels by bio-based fuels produced from residues and waste, preferably originating from the province itself. Initiatives can receive subsidies.
