German Biodiesel Industry Struggles With Higher Taxes
01.11.08
The increased German tax on biodiesel at the beginning of the year has led to a slump in demand, bringing hundreds of biodiesel makers to the brink of bankruptcy, die Welt reported, citing two German biodiesel associations.
While demand for pure biodiesel at petrol stations has all but collapsed, a certain level of revenue remains due to regulations that guarantee the blending of 5% of biodiesel into fossil fuels, allowing larger biofuel companies such as Verbio AG, Petrotec AG and Biopetrol AG to hold on.
