In Europe, biodiesel takes the most important position amongst the biofuels. World-wide production is constantly growing, but the resources are limited and the type of raw material has a substantial effect on the characteristics of the product. However, the access to the market that biodiesel can achieve depends on the general conditions. Apart from political acceptance, a consistently secured, high quality of the biodiesel is a primary condition for access to and endurance on the market.
The “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Qualitätsmanagement Biodiesel e.V.” (AGQM) therefore wishes to offer an opportunity to exchange ideas on the topics “Political Conditions and Quality”, “Technical Requirements for the Use of Biodiesel” and “Quality Assurance throughout the Branch” with all interested parties. The conference is conceived for the corporate management of biodiesel manufacturers, those responsible for the execution of production and sales, employees of mineral oil companies in which blending with biofuels is already executed or is planned, and those responsible for operative quality assurance.
