Colombia currently provides for the gasoline fuel to be mixed with 8% of biofuels, the Government hopes that this proportion increased to 15% in 2014.
Biodiesel exports greatly increased in Argentina in 2011 Argentina soybean crush highs last year , more soybean oil is further processed into biodiesel. The amount of biodiesel last year total is 1.7 million tons, higher than the exports of 1.4 million tons in 2010, export volume in 2007 was only 168,364 tons.
Argentina’s 12 major biodiesel producers, including the global cereal exporters, Cargill and Bunge, has spent nearly $ 1 billion to build factories, and solid support by the government.Biodiesel export tariffs is 13.5 percent, while the soybean oil export tariffs is on 32 percent. The Government has also developed a reference price, to ensure that the profits from the sale to the domestic market.
To contain 7% biodiesel in diesel fuel to ensure that local needs and plan this proportion increased to 10%, and after increased to 20% within four years.
