How are we organized ?

What is CEN and how is it organized ?

What is a European Standard ?

 It is a document:       

Standards for Alternative fuels e.g. Biodiesel

By Guido De Jongh CEN/Management Centre - Brussels

Standards for Alternative fuels

 CEN is developing standards for:    Solid Biofuels (cfr. wood pulp, etc.) Solid recovered fuels (cfr. demolition wood, municipal waste, etc.) Feasibility study hydrogen and fuels cells, to be started up   Biodiesel Bio-ethanol  2005 CEN – all rights reserved 14  2005 CEN – all rights reserved 26/04/2020

Biodiesel (1)

 Initiated following Commission Mandate M/245 of 1997.

 Mandate asks to establish requirements for FAME mainly used as:    Sole fuel for diesel engines Additive/extender to EN 590 diesel fuel Sole or as extender to oil for production of heat  Executed by a Task Force in CEN/TC 19

‘Gaseous and liquid fuels, lubricants and related products of petroleum, synthetic and biological origin’.

 2005 CEN – all rights reserved 15  2005 CEN – all rights reserved 26/04/2020

Biodiesel (2)

 EN 14214:2003

“Automotive fuels - Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) for diesel engines Requirements and test methods”

 EN 14213:2003

“Heating fuels - Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) Requirements and test methods”

Note: Both EN’s were developed in consensus by the experts of the Automotive industry, Biodiesel manufactures, Additive industry, oil companies, etc.

 2005 CEN – all rights reserved 16  2005 CEN – all rights reserved 26/04/2020

Biodiesel (3)

 EN 14214: 2003  Specifies requirements for use as pure diesel or as a blend – max 5% with EN 590 (Fossil fuel diesel standard)  Some parameters:     Iodine max 120 (test method EN 14111) Oxidation stability, 110 ° C min 6 hours (test method EN 14112) Cetane etc min 51 (test method EN ISO 5165)  2005 CEN – all rights reserved 17  2005 CEN – all rights reserved 26/04/2020

By Guido De Jongh CEN/Management Centre - Brussels

Legal framework

 Directive 98/70/EC relating to

the quality of petrol and diesel fuels

, complemented by Directive 2003/17/EC Note: currently under revision at Commission level. An initial trend seems to be to go for a 10% blending of biodiesel with fossil diesel  Directive 2003/30/EC on

the use of biofuels or other renewable fuels for transport

 Other directives ?
