After nearly 3 years, The Biodiesel Station will no longer be supplying Biodiesel and Biodiesel blends to Franks Auto in Marrickville.  As the memories of Sydney's New Years Eve Celebrations were still fresh in the minds of most Sydney-siders, the management of Franks Auto & The Biodiesel Station met to discuss the future of Sydney's First Biofuel Station.  The relationship has been good for both parties, but, as often occurs on a journey, the road into 2010 had split at a fork.  It was time for the two parties to take their separate paths.

Franks Auto will continue to sell Biofuels; offereing E10, B5, B20 & B100.  As of last week, National Biodiesel was delivering Soy Biodiesel & Manildra Park the E10 to the station at 73 Marrickville Road.  TBS wishes Frank, Bill, and Pete the best of luck in the future, and congratulates them on their dedication to biofuels since April 2007. Having first opened in that location in January 2006; it was a difficuklt decision, but a prudent one for TBS, and one that will lead to a new location sometme in the near future.

My sincere thanks to all of you that have been TBS Supporters and Customers.  TBS will continue to supply B20 to its growing list of Customers with Bulk or In-Vehicle refueling requirements. 

KLM conducted a flight partly powered by a camelina-based biofuel. The flight took off from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport for a one-hour demonstration. On board were a number of Dutch government officials and industry partners - the first time passengers have been aboard a biofuels demonstration flight. The camelina was reportedly sourced from Great Plains-The Camelina company.

KLM has also announced the formation of a joint-venture company to develop sustainable biofuels called SkyEnergy, together with North Sea Petroleum and Spring Associates. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) will advise the consortium in relation to ecological aspects.
