Biofuels are fuels developed from renewable and less-greenhouse-intensive energy sources. Alternative fuels have been developed that use a proportion of biofuel. These fuels have less greenhouse gas emissions and can be used in place of regular fuels in most vehicles without mechanical alterations.

Why
Fuel used in vehicles and/or plant equipment releases greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Biofuel blended fuels include E10 and E85, which have 10% and 85% ethanol, and B20, which is a diesel blended fuel that includes 20% biofuel. These fuels save from 6% up to 70% of GHG emissions when compared to regular fuels.

How
Check your owner’s manual or other reference material to see if your vehicle(s) can operate on various biofuel products. If your vehicle can run on biofuel blended fuels it is as simple as finding a petrol station that suppliers bio-fuel blended fuels.

How we calculate this

• Assumes an Australian SME's average petrol and diesel tCO2-e (26*)
• Assumes a 9% average reduction in carbon intensity of a 10% ethanol and a 20% biodiesel blended fuel**
* Estimated based on Australian Bureau of Statistics 4660.0 national SME average petrol and diesel using Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) July 2010 Scope 1 general transport emissions factors.
**Using DCCEE scope 1 general transport emissions factors and assuming a 4% per km fuel increase for a 10% ethanol blended fuel.
